Each 20-page comic book follows Marc, Sammy and Christy -- three friends at Watterson Middle School, who along with their robot companion, ALPHA, teach their peers to "Take Pride In What's Inside" themselves.

The full-color, comic book format excites students as they learn the dangerous facts about using tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana, as well as tips for resisting peer pressure. The stories present realistic scenarios to explain why someone who uses a drug may not be a bad person, but a person making a bad decision.

Each comic has a review page at the end to reinforce the points made, and a teacher's guide to expand the books into further class discussion.
