The first serious look at drug abuse occurred months before in Amazing Spider-man, but DC was the first to specifically target heroin and make one of their own heroes (in this case Speedy) into a junkie. Neal Adams' art reinforces the seriousness of the theme, filling the pages with characters that are individual and complex. Especially well drawn are the first several pages, depicting thugs eyeing a potential victim. The backdrop of a dimly lit street within an urban slum looks convincing, a scene not often portrayed in early bronze age comics. Adams' shocking cover replicates the same moment of revelation on the last panel. In this award-winning tale from 1971, Green Arrow realizes his ward's addiction.
