Jane's Husband Drank Too Much

In the single-issue series Jane's Husband Drank Too Much, published by American Comics Group in 1972, artist Kurt Schaffenberger illustrated a sobering, socially conscious tale about the toll of alcoholism on a family. This one-shot stands as an early, earnest example of comics addressing real-world adult issues, marking a quiet but significant step beyond the era's typical superhero and humor fare.
