jools&jim Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Here's the Spire entry from The Slings and Arrows Comic Guide (Slings&Arrows, 2003). Sorry that the right column is a little blurry...it's a fat book, and wouldn't quite lay flat on the scanner... F For Fake and ThothAmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSeas Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I too, own some of the Spire Christian comics. My grandparents, who got me started in comics by buying me two or three a week, for a while they were getting me the Spire comics. I can remember how upset my little 10 yr old self was at getting these instead of the usual standard Archie comics. Now after all these years, I'm glad to have gotten them and really thankful to have had grandparents that did that. I do not recall having received any non-Archie Spire comics but I may have. I'll have to check my list. The Slings and Arrows note states that they were only to be in Christian bookstores - I never knew that. My grandparents must have occasionally shopped at whatever Christian bookstore was in Saginaw MI back in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them being in a diner in Ellensburg, WA when we drove over the mountains to see my grandparents in the 70's. Pretty sure they were the only comics on the rack, but it wasn't a Christian bookstore as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents were religious though, I just do not remember them ever talking about going to a religious type store. I do not think they ever missed a Sunday going to church.

sfcityduck Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Coolest Spire Christian item I ever saw was a five sided mid-70s "Best in Comics" rack for which one side of the sign had the Spire Christian logo. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the place was so small that I'm surprised to see anyone mention it. I'm sure the Spire god squad would not approve.
