Wait, there was a drug issue the Comics Code Authority approved about one year before the Spiderman Issues. Welcome to the back-up story in Action Comic 378, a Tale of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Jim Shooter authored a short story where one of the Legionnaires copes with pain killer addiction.

In this episode Dan nerds out about the LSH. Perhaps he knows more about LSH history then he should. You won’t want to miss this one.

Check out Jim Shooter’s blog post about the story and learn more about Jim Shooter’s early career at DC on Spoiler Country.

Its time for Dan and Greg to take on Drugs. We dive into our support for Richard Nixon’s drug war…. Wait! We won’t do that but we will review the classic Green Lantern 85 and 86 the first two comic book issues in the bronze era to mention heroin by name that had the comics code authority stamp. We chose these two to honor the late great Artist Neal Adams and the late writer Denny O’Neil. 

Of course, we get into some pretty classic banter including discussing Burt Ward sparring with Bruce Lee which Dan learned about from a Spoiler Country episode.  You won’t want to miss this one so check it out!
