AMAZING SPIDER-MAN "Pull of the Prodigy" Conclusion
Spider-Man witnesses a load of young teens boarding a helicopter...late at night.
Webbing himself to the undercarriage, he's carried to an upstate mansion where the teens meet The Prodigy...who is actually an extraterrestrial alien with the ability to manipulate minds!
He's encouraging human teenagers to get pregnant and, since they are unprepared to raise and support the babies, allow him to take the children, ostensibly to have them adopted by foster families, but actually to kidnap them to his home planet, where they'll be raised as a slave labor force!
Using his vocal ability to manipulate the kids, he's providing them with mis-information about sex, and encourging them to...well...breed!
Written by Ann Robinson of Planned Parenthood, and illustrated by the long-time team of penciler Ross Andru & inker Mike Esposito, this 1976 digest-sized giveaway was one of the first Public Service Announcement-type comics featuring Marvel or DC characters!
We've run a number of them on this blog!
Just enter the phrase "PSA" in the Google search box at the top of the post to find them!

After all, we wouldn't want you to do anything foolish between now and next Friday just because you didn't know!

Marvel Comics, The American Cancer Society and the Story So Nice, They Told it Twice!
Actually, it wasn't a "nice" tale, but we wanted an alliterative title...
In 1982, Marvel and the American Cancer Society co-produced a giveaway comic against under-21 smoking starring Spider-Man, Storm of The X-Men and Luke Cage: Power Man vs the villain called...SmokeScreen!
In 1998, they reprinted the comic, but the response from medical offices was poor, with kids not interested in the "old-fashioned" artwork!
So it was decided to keep the script (almost verbatim) and redraw it, start to finish!
Here are both versions for you to "compare and contrast"!

Which do you prefer?
