Ha! My parents left this around the house when I was growing up and of course I read it (I read everything). For a long time it was my mental picture of life in the big city.
This was a mandatory read in the Repent Ye Misguided Young Sinners Bible Class at my Southern Baptists Church. Made you appreciate reading the book of Lamentations.
The Spire comics aren't nearly as extreme as Jack Chick, but it is a bit weird to have Archie and his gang shilling for the Lord. No different than having D.C. superheroes fighting evil for the reward of Hostess baked goods, I suppose.

I have read this book too. It was still very popular among evangelical circles in the 80s.

I did not know there was a comic book and ad I known I would have guessed it would look more like Jack Chick than Archie.
