Excerpt from Bravestarr - Episode 26 - The Price

This clip is the last couple minutes of "The Price" from the 1980s television series "Bravestarr". In an unusual move in the 1980s, a child dies from overdosing on a drug called "spin". In the episode, spin was very similar to acid. In the 1980s death was very uncommon in animated shows and movies. The only other animated TV series where at least one character dies was Robotech.

Amazon.com has the episode "The Price" as well as every other episode available for purchase.

I think I can make the assumption that Raymond Hamada was a young boy who died of a drug overdose due to his addiction; he may have been the son of one of the animators of Bravestarr, or one of the sons of a close friend from Filmation Studios. Either way, it shows what can happen to a youth who becomes addicted to drugs. There needs to be more episodes like this on TV now than sugar coating hardcore topics such as drug addictions, abuse or bullying.

@Mangina9000 ahahha You know, this condridicts what I just said, but I really like people who do drugs, and people who say the are inspiration, thats true (BEATLES my fav group) I just think it's terrible when kids get into them really early and die, a boy i knew died at the age of 15... sad stuff, but ...

@xoxLettermanxox Drugs are really great and fun and I'll take your drugs if you don't want them.

And thus the wolf thing dealer gets a slap on the wrist.

wow, I love cartoon like this. The ones that don't just tell you not to do drugs because it kills ppl and ruins lives... they show you. We all have that spot inside of us that hurts and we all can relate to a person's death. You know the saying seeing is believing, well I'm believing drugs kill people right now after seeing this,...
