Luke Cage is mentoring a teen track team of kids representing every district in NYC.
He confides to photographer Peter Parker, who's covering the team for a human interest story, that one of them, Bret Jackson, isn't performing up to his previous levels.
But why?
As Spider-Man, Peter recruits the X-Men's Storm to trail a couple of suspicious fellows who are supplying cigarettes to Bret and other kids!
Though Ororo eludes detection by flying after the creeps, she's caught when entering their headquarters...
Now that the story's concluded, the comic presents the reader with a quandry...
What would you do, True Believer?
If you're still undecided, perhaps this back cover by John Romita Sr, will sway you...
And, as a final treat, here's the inside front cover with some background about the three heroes...
Penciled by Herb Trimpe and inked by Joe Giella, Marvel's Spider-Man, Storm and Power Man (1982) was commissioned by the American Cancer Society to discourage 'tween and teen smoking.
Oddly, the writer is unknown, but is suspected to be an ACS staffer.
Now here's where it gets wild...
Years later, the American Cancer Society reprinted the comic.
But, within a couple of months, it commissioned Marvel to re-do it...using the exact same script!
