Back in the 1980s when DC Comics’ The New Teen Titans comic books were written by Marv Wolfman and drawn by George Perez the title was a hot commodity.
So hot in fact that two very special anti-drug books were produced with the proceeds going to drug prevention.
The first The New Teen Titans drug awareness comic was issued by the IBM Corporation in cooperation with The President’s Drug Awareness Campaign. Marv Wolfman provided the story with art by Adrian Gonzales.
In it a new superhero: The Protector and The New Teen Titans team-up.
The story centers around two brothers dealing with drugs. The younger is encouraged by his older brother who is an addict to take drugs.
The Protector and The New Teen Titans step in to help the siblings and in the course of the story finds themselves affected by drugs and eventually confront the drug dealers who market the deadly narcotics.
Keebler and DC Comics present The New Teen Titans in story by Marv Wolfman and George Perez that once again teamed with The Protector and The New Teen Titans in a tale of several teens struggling with drugs and their effort to stop.
Both issues stress the importance of listening to young people, identifying the symptoms of drug abuse and contacting the proper authorities to help individuals and to stop the drug traffickers.
In this age of out of control drug abuse by young people and people of all social strata these two issue bring the message home.
Isaiah 53:6 (NKJV) “All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
