We didn't have air conditioning when I was little and when we did get it, we rarely used it. So many of my summers were spent in our basement where it was cool (temperature wise, that is. As basements go, it was as uncool as they get and was actually kind of scary). I would spend hours reading comic books, a lot of which were from my older brothers who were alive during that sweet spot of years to see the birth of the Marvel Age of comics. I guess what my rambling is trying to get at is that I've always associated summer with comic books and this being July 1st, I thought I'd bring one out that I recently picked up at a sale.
I was never a big reader of the Archie line, but I did have a few and when I saw this cover, I assumed it was an extension of those comics.
