NEW TEEN TITANS: DRUG ISSUE #1 (Jun 1983)

THE TEEN TITANS (now a popular cartoon) was created as a comic series in the mid-eighties from George Perez and writer Marv Wolfman. Promotional comics were written with the JUST SAY NO theme and the comics analyzed addiction and the life and loss of young people.

One comic had a place to sign a declaration and a pledge which read "I DECLARE THAT I AM AWARE OF THE DANGEROUS EFFECTS OF DRUGS. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MYSELF AND WILL NEVER USE ANY UNLAWFUL DRUG."

The next statement was, “Remember, a declaration is a very strong statement, it's not just repeating something you've already heard. It's thinking hard and being really honest about what you say."
