How Sabrina the Teenage Witch Celebrated the Bicentennial

Well here's a disappointing entry into our Bicentennial Comics catalog. Archie Comics did a lot of great Revolutionary War-themed comics in 1976, so I had high hopes when I found out about Sabrina the Teen-age Witch # 34, cover dated September of that year but actually published in July. I didn't have a description of the issue, but it looked like it might fit in with so many other Archie comics of the era. After all, the cover has a pretty vague patriotic theme, with Sabrina wearing a cute little red-white-and-blue halter top:


Unfortunately, that's it as far as Bicentennial content goes! This issue contains several stories -- each of which is actually quite a bit of fun -- but not a mention of anything timely.

Well, I take that back. There's one more Bicentennial mention in this issue, but it's not from any of the stories. It's actually just from an ad on the back cover:


Oh well. Every Bicentennial comic that I unearth can't be a gem. Better luck next time!
