In 1971, Lee indirectly reformed the Comics Code. The US Department of Health, Education and Welfare asked Lee to write a story about the dangers of drugs and Lee wrote a story in which Spider-Man’s best friend becomes addicted to pills. The story was slated to be published in Amazing Spider-Man #96 but the Comics Code Authority refused it because it depicted drug use; the context within the story was considered irrelevant. With his publisher's approval, Marvel published the comic without the CCA seal of approval. The comic sold well and Marvel won praise for having a social conscience. The CCA subsequently loosened the code to permit negative depictions of drugs among other new freedoms.
