A really fine overview of Archie Andrews, Spire Comics and Al Hartley. The author recalls his first encounter with one of the Spire Comics Archie titles:
I still distinctly remember the weird and creepy sensation that came over me as I read the coverless Archie comic I found in the box. It featured all the familiar characters, going through their typical trials and tribulations at Riverdale High, and the artwork was the same as usual. Yet, as I read it, I felt as if it had been made in outer space. Something was off. Something seemed completely wrong. After finishing its twenty-eight pages, I had a feeling similar to that of being molested.
