About this work

Description

"Hysteria surrounded marijuana as a percieved gateway drug from the 1930s to the 1950s and beyond. Comics by Superman's creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and works by Frank Frazetta, Jerry Robinson, Jack Kirby, and many more, reveal the social reaction to this era of "reefer madness." Like the antidrug propaganda film, these stories range from comically misinformed to soberly concerned about the influence of "Satan's cigarettes" on the youth of America" -- from publisher.
