If you open any of the past few years copies of X-Men you'll always find one of any number of inept anti-drugs adverts. Which is a shame as the writer, Grant Morrison, has openly admitted to writing comics under the influence of mushrooms and E. then of course, look at the cosmic comics of the 70s and no way could they have been written by anyone who wasn't travelling at some velocity. And you're telling me that someone completely grounded and rational came up with the idea of a man that dresses as a human bat to fight crime?
I personally don't mind about my comics writers using drugs, just as everyone who likes music can't really complain about drugs unless they only like the works of John Denver and George Fornby. But isn't it a bit hypocritical for those comics to run adverts when, even indirectly, those same substances have helped many of the creators of these works to tell stories?
