Captain Ecology Pollution-Fighter

In 1974, Scholastic Book Services released a single-issue comic where writer/artist Tom Eaton introduced Captain Ecology, a hero dedicated to fighting pollution and environmental degradation. This educational one-shot aimed to teach young readers about ecological issues through the lens of a superhero narrative, reflecting the growing environmental awareness of the era. While brief, it stands as a notable early example of a comic using the genre to deliver a pro-environment message directly to classroom audiences.
