Dr Ivar McCutchin faces his first crisis as a recovering alcoholic...
...and fails (a too-common occurrence in real-life)!
This never-reprinted tale from Dell's Linda Lark: Registered Nurse #3 (1962) featured both alcoholism and addictive narcotics, both of which were forbidden in newsstand comics after the Comics Code Authority was organized as a self-censorship board by the major comics publishers in 1954.
Dell, however, was not a member of that organization, since they had never published the type of horror comics that drew the public's ire!
As a result, they were able to handle topics like addiction, interracial romances, etc, that the "Big Guns" (DC/Atlas-Marvel/Harvey/etc.) didn't dare touch!
