WNBC-TV Segment about Marvel Comics Group, 1973.
This news story discusses a Marvel issue that referenced drug trafficking. In 1971, while Stan Lee was Marvel's editor-in-chief, the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare asked the company to incorporate anti-drug messaging into their popular comics. Marvel proceeded to do so, most famously in a three-part story that appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man issues 96 through 98. The segment runs 3 minutes, 25 seconds.
