The first story "The White Death" is really interesting to read. Drug addiction is not a subject you would expect to find in a comic book. |
|
Yeah, there were quite a number of drug moral lesson stories in comic books back then. Charlton did another one in Sweethearts #122 (March, 1954) actually. |
