When it comes to Archie, I am all about the ’70s. That’s when I discovered them through our friends, the Kessins, and looking back, they’re an ideal snapshot of a particular era. The fashions dazzle and the subject matter is often very much of its time. I wouldn’t go so far as to call a book like this a sociology text, but you’ll certainly grok the decade’s zeitgeist.
Far out!
