I loved the 'Bi..."What's yours?"<br /><br />I loved the 'Bicentennial Battles' Treasury, but I didn't have my own copy until a few years after '76.<br /><br />I'm a bit younger than you, so for me,this issue best represents the Summer of '76:<br />http://www.comics.org/issue/86633/cover/4/<br /><br />Spider-Man and Captain America chase Kang through time, in the process they get to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence. <br /><br />Also, since you also ran an 80s comics blog, you may appreciate my newish blog dedicated to Marvel's Assistant Editors' Month:<br /><br />http://assistanteditorsmonth.blogspot.com/<br /><br />And thank you, 'Diversions' helped inspire me to start my blog.<br />JAJ.A.
