Drug Comics 1 1

[rjpb]

Love that CRACKDOWN cover - how much was it from Metropolis - I saw a copy on ebay a little while back, but the starting bid seemed kind of high -I can't recall if it sold.

 

I was looking through my collection for a cover to post and realized there are very few drug covers (not counting mentions in a title box), though lots of great interior stories. I collect pre-code marijuana stories, though not drug stories in general, and I'll try and figure out which have some great splash pages to post later. I'm also interested in any info on drug books not listed specifically as having a "marijuana story" in the Overstreet, but that do have gangsters or teenagers and the like smoking the devil weed in the story.

 

Don't remember exactly, but I think it was a bit over hundred bucks...mebbe $130 or something like that. It's a sweet highgrade copy, though. I've been thinking about slabbing it, just 'cause there's none on the census. What was the asking price for the one on ebay?

 

 

I don't recall exactly - but I'm pretty sure it was over $100 or I would have bid. I don't recall the grade either, but it was neither beat nor pristine ( I realize that leaves alot of room, but my initial reaction was that it was pricey so I moved on without further consideration )

Let me tell ya, you just don't GET such spot-on comments like these in other comic book forums!

If you like drug story comic books, I would highly recommend 87th Precinct #2 (Dell Pub.).. the cover is a "mild" photo cover, the whole inside story of the book is about heroin usage... artwork is just average. Here's a photo of the inside back cover...

Here's the splash page to a heroin story contained in True Crime #3... this artwork is pretty wild!!

[rjpb]

Fantastic splash, Comichut!

 

Manhunt #14 doesn't have a drug cover in the traditional sense of heroin/marijuana stories, but it does have a hypo cover that is a favorite of many.

I am really enjoying these topic specific - well - topics. So let's see those drug books! I know there are some whoppers out there.

 

This one has often been shown in various forums...but maybe this can be a home for it!

 

 

It already has a home. Mine.

Mine too. Thanks to your pioneering this book I kept watch and snagged my own on ebay last year.

 

But now I have to wonder if I posted a scan of your book or mine!

That little guy drawing blood with the hypodermic is such a wicked, cool bizarre image. Great book!

It's mine. My copy is the only one I've ever seen. I'd love to see your copy. Is it in better shape?

You're my second one POV. Was it as good for you as it was for me?

 

Nice copy.

WOW !! What issue of Ghost Rider is that? I've never seen it. Who's the cover artist?

 

Thanks for all the bumps First.

It's #6 from the 1950 series (or A-1 comic #44) , Ayers did the cover art.

The greatest of all Drug Books has to be the Harvey giveaway "Trapped!" It was expensive in early guides, then there was a warehouse find and they dropped to $20. They're tough to find these days though, and who can forget the classic cover balloon!

That's all we need -- another interesting thread to which Adam is compelled to read and post to because he doesn't haven't anything else to do and, heaven knows, he doesn't need any sleep!

 

I"ve already posted this elsewhere, but darn if I can figure out where at this point.

 

 

The story was posted here , but not the cover.

 

Here's the C&P #69 story for anyone who missed it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ENJOY!
