About the series
In 1989, Western Publishing released a single-issue comic tie-in for the D.A.R.E. anti-drug program, starring Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear. The issue uses the beloved cartoon character to deliver a straightforward, pro-social message to young readers about resisting peer pressure and substance abuse. As a piece of licensed educational media from the late 80s, it's a curious artifact of a time when mainstream comics were used as vehicles for public service campaigns.
