For today's #ComicShowAndTell, I have my only comic that was produced in cooperation with the FBI!

This is Captain America Goes To War Against Drugs (pub. 1991). It's 20 pages and was free at the time. This book is full of 90s outfits and tons of #JustSayNo kinds of stuff.

There is a story - aliens are trying to take over humanity by bringing drugs to earth. Meanwhile, Captain America helps a baseball-playing teen quit an unnamed substance.

The cover of the comic features Captain America standing in front of a group of kids (very 90s; one of them has a boombox). He has just thrown his shield into the word DRUGS, cleaving it in two.
Captain America consoles a boy who worries about his friend who is on drugs. He tells him he did the right thing by contacting somebody and provides a toll free number, 1-800-622-HELP, which is still the active hotline for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
From the beginning of the book: "The development and first printing of this special comic book have been accomplished through the support and efforts of the Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office for Substance Abuse Prevention, the American Council for Drug Education and the National Institute on Drug Abuse."

Let's do this week's #ComicShowAndTell!

I'm not surprised the strangest book in my collection is an Alan Moore book. Or more specifically, Alan Moore's Songbook.

Published in 1998, this strange B&W book collects lyrics for 13 delightfully twisted original songs such as "The Hair of the Snake that Bit Me".

I found it in a dusty box, forgotten in the corner of a comic shop. I haven't seen another copy since.

The cover of the book features a strange mixed media portrait of Alan Moore. He has a third eye and has some little microphones in front of him.

Let's start this #ComicShowAndTell series with something crazy!

This is The Punisher Meets Archie, published in 1994. In this story, the Punisher chases a dangerous criminal into Riverdale…a criminal who looks a lot like Archie. The premise apparently started as a joke between the creators.

The cover of this comic is die-cut into the shape of a crosshair, right over Archie's face on the page beneath.

The comic cover. The punisher is firing a gun on the front. Archie's face is in background, outlined by a crosshair.
Another angle of the comic book, focusing on the die-cut layers of the cover.
A panel showing Archie's lookalike. He has orange hair and freckles like Archie, but also has large buck teeth, thick eyebrows, and a menacing expression.

I’ve been getting sentimental about my beloved comic collection. It's not the biggest or the most valuable, but it's mine.

So I'm starting a weekly #ComicShowAndTell where I share my comics and collectibles, from the notable to the bizarre. I might have manga to talk about too, once in a while.

I'll try to keep this going once a week, maybe not always on the same day though.
