I have a greater appreciation of Power Pack as an adult now than as a child who was more interesed in collecting Spider-Man, Captain America, DD, and Uncanny X-Men. They tackled social issues in such a unique way unlike other heroes precisely BECAUSE they were pre-teens, such as bullying, homelessness, and sexual abuse (I remember PP teamed-up with Spidey to address sexual abuse on the back covers across different Marvel comics in the mid 80s.)
