Seeing that date stamp reminds me of the first drugstore that I would head to once a week, at 10 years old.

Getting to that drugstore in the afternoon, on the day each week that the books arrived, and seeing that they still hadn't opened the binded package sitting on the floor, used to make so so crazy.

I'm sure it made you want to get hired right then and there

As a kid I would make my way to several drug stores and variety stores each week. At one of the stores, if the books were still bundled up when I got there, sometimes the guy behind the counter would hand me a pliers and let me remove the wire. Those top and bottom books had deep grooves in the middles of their tops, bottoms, and each side. Those were the days, so many places sold new comics, they were literally everywhere. Great memories!

Funny, I've looked at the cover of #116 so many times but as they say, I was today years old when I realized that Spidey doesn't appear to have the white covering over the eye holes. Maybe the smasher knocked them off.
