The CBDR
Filed under: Comics, General, Medicine
The Comic Book Drug Reference is now up to 83 unique entries and I’m adding more every week. It’s currently at four pages butI think I’m going to have to give Transmetropolitan its own page soon. I’ve started to add more Golden Age references and I’ve finally gotten around to adding those medications and formulas without specific names (such as “Hank McCoy’s Mutation Formula” or Curt Connor’s “Lizard Serum”).
I know I’m still missing some obvious ones (Sandman’s sleeping gas, Lyle Norg’s invisibility serum and Peter Parker’s six-armed spider serum for example), but if you have any suggestions please feel free to e-mail me. (And as always, the CBDR can be found in the sidebar to your right, under “Special Topics.”)

Can I suggest Mr. Fear’s fear powder? And would Superchicken’s Super Sauce count, since he was a cartoon and not a comic book?

I have Mr. Fear as a footnote under “Fear Gas” right now. As for Superchicken, he’ll be added along with some other TV characters in the next few weeks. As long as they appeared in a comic at some point, they qualify.
