What Happened to Joe and His Drinking Problem

Two issues, published across nearly four decades (1967–2004), make up this Alcoholics Anonymous comic series, which chronicles the title character's struggles with addiction through a stark, educational lens. Associated with the organization's outreach efforts, the series uses sequential art to depict the realities of alcoholism and the path to recovery. Its extended publication gap and focused narrative make it a unique artifact in the history of health-related comics.
