Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these legendary issues. It's sad, the books are famed for their anti-drugs message and my abiding impression was how darned sexy and sophisticated Dinah Lance was.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, when Denny O'Neil went to edit Iron Man he brought back Tony Stark's alcoholism, saying it was too quickly sorted out originally - Tony was OK, pretty much, by the end of #128, Demon in a Bottle, having only admitted his problem that issue. But he'd had Roy kick drugs in a week. How ironic >choke<.
