What was highly unusual, (for the time), about the covers of The Amazing Spider-Man issues #96-98, (May-July, 1971)?

These three issues did not carry the Comics Code Authority seal on the cover.

The Comics Code Authority, (CCA), was a means by which publishers of comic books censored and restricted content in their magazines, beginning in 1954. Among the taboo subjects was the use of narcotics. These three issues of The Amazing Spider-man contained a subplot in which Peter Parker/ Spiderman's roommate Harry Orborn, (son of The Green Goblin), was hospitalized after dropping some Acid.
