Action Comics #486 Great cover, but it's #485.

Welcome to the forum, skibum51!
The story doesn't sound familiar to me, but my knowledge of comics post-1978 is slim. There are people here who love that era, so you might get an answer soon.

I've always liked this caption from X-Men #16:
"Beware the fanatic! Too often his cure is deadlier by far than the evil he denounces!"

Marvel Team up # 10Spider-man webs himself to the bottom of a jet going to Venezuela. I'm sure he didn't get cold or run out of oxygen. This looks like an artifact of the Marvel Method. The story called for Spidey to go to Venezuela; the artist came up with this method, and then the writer has to put in some internal monologue to get it to make sense. I don't know if that's what happened, but that's what it looks like to me.

I did get Run Baby Run in a mix....looks like it's an uncirculated copy.
That book is the same story as The Cross and the Switchblade, which Spire adapted. The C & the S was written by the minister who went to the ghetto to work with gang members; RBR was written by the gang leader who was the first to convert. You don't often get two perspectives on the same events.

Was that associated w/ the Logos stores (which, around here anyway, were christian bookstores usually near college campuses)? No, Logos the publisher produced books and a bimonthly magazine ( Logos Journal, later merged into Charisma). My father was managing editor of the magazine. Just today I've learned that the company still exists; it was renamed in 1981 and is now called Bridge Logos Inc. - www.bridgelogos.com/About_Us.htmlThe bookstores are still around: logosbookstores.weebly.com/"The Association of Logos Bookstores is a non-profit, member-owned, trade association comprised of 17 independent Christian bookstore members located in the U.S., Canada and the Bahamas."They both chose the name because of its theological meaning - "the Word of God, or principle of divine reason and creative order" according to Oxford.

And I finally got the very last Spire Archie comic I needed to complete all 19. This was extremely hard to get in high grade but we got one.... Now that you have all the Spires, see if you can find all four of the Logos comics from the 70s. I've never seen two of the four, and my father worked for Logos. www.comix35.org/ChristianComicsInternational.org/series_logos.html
