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"!

Sensation Comics DR PAT ""Dr Pat's First Love!"

Remember Dr Pat, the subject of our blog's premiere post?

She's back, and ready to prove herself the equal of any male doctor!

BTW, her "first love" isn't what you think...

Dr Pat was a first-rate, professional medical practitioner, as demonstrated in the second installment of her series from DC's Sensation Comics #95 (1950).

Written by Robert Kanigher, penciled by Arthur Peddy, and inked by Joe Giella, this tale sets up an intriguing urban/rural interaction that could've been played many different ways.

Be here next month as we show you how it develops...

We promised you'd see all her stories here, one a month, until we completed the run!

Covid-19 and a switch to disease/infection-related features derailed those plans...but only temporarily.

We're now back on track, so the first week of every month you'll see a never-reprinted Dr Pat tale!
BTW, both this and the previous Dr Pat story were reprinted as backups in DC's Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane in 1972, almost 50 yeaars ago.
The remainder of the Dr Pat series has never been reprinted.

We hope you'll enjoy it!
