Gosh, I wonder what his hobby can be?"]<br /><br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project.

School Blues!
Description
An account of the resource
Buzzy has the answer to "School Blues!" <br /><br />Comic description: After being discouraged by a bad report card, Joe thinks about quitting high school and starting a job. Joe meets with his school counselor, at his parent's suggestion, and his counselor enrolls him in a new course. Joe tells Buzzy that he likes his new course so much that he has decided to stay in school. His grades in all his other subjects have also improved. Buzzy reminds the reader to carefully consider important life decisions. <br /><br />[Image description: A text panel on the comic book cover reads: "How would you like a Superboy souvenir in your home? A memento of some great adventure or deed performed by the BOY OF STEEL? You'd like it, of course, but no more so than eager customers in Smallville, flocking to purchase mementos of their famed boy citizen! Everybody is happy-- except Superboy himself-- when he learns there is a mystery behind the Superboy Souvenirs!". The image on the cover shows superboy using his super-strength to place a giant meteor onto a petastal. The petastal has a sign that says: "Super Souvenir Meteor which Superboy Caught Before it Smashed into a City!". Next to Superboy is a man in a suit saying: "Thanks for pouring the concrete base and bringing the meteor here, Superboy! Now just one more little detail... building a wooden shelter over it!". A thought bubble by Superboy says: "Hmm! As a souvenir, this meteor is more trouble than it was as a menace! All I had to do then was to CATCH it!".]<br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project. The Comics Project lasted from August 1949 - July 1967 and produced over 200 pages promoting citizenship and social values. <br /><br />Publisher's Note: "Published as a public service in cooperation with the National Social Welfare Assembly, coordinating organization for national health, welfare and recreation agencies of the U.S."

Spider-Man and Power Pack [National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse comic book]
Description
An account of the resource
Marvel giveaway comic book produced in cooperation with the National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse. Children are urged to tell a trusted adult if something has happened, and to know that there are phone numbers to call if you need help. While speaking to one young boy whose babysitter has abused him, Spider-Man reveals that he too was abused as a child. <br /><br />Letter inside front cover is signed by Anne H. Cohn, D.P.H., Executive Director National Committee for Prevention of Child Abuse:<br /><br />"The purpose of this book is to teach you how to protect yourself from sexual abuse and what to do if it happens to you. I shows you that even people you know and trust can touch you in ways or in places that feel uncomfortable or yukky or just not right. Or, they can make you touch them in private places. And this book tells you that if this happens, it's not your fault--you can say no--and there is help out there."<br /><br />Back cover: "The National Education Association recognizes this publication as a viable attempt to education children about the problem of child sexual abuse."

In 1960 the flag will fly at squaw valley, Calif., when the U.S. will play host to the games".<br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project.
