"Pioneering comics writer/artist Trina Robbins takes us inside the 1919 novel by Sax Rohmer and into a turn-of-the-century look at drug addiction of the time. Trina has remained true to the attitudes and sensationalized exploits of the time period, giving us a story filled with opium, cocaine, fallen women, murder, evil Chinese, a dragon-lady in stiletto heels, and intrepid detectives." -- CHRISTY MARX , writer, Sisterhood of Steel "Trina's elegant, supple drawing is at once retro and ever current, and she is ideally suited to the exotic pulp world of Sax Rohmer." -- MAX ALLAN COLLINS , author, Road to Perdition "When it was first published in 1919, Sax Rohmer's Dope was a sensation --a thriller torn from London newspaper headlines centering around the city's notorious opium dens. A half-century later, the '60s counter-culture rediscovered and embraced its depiction of a long-dead drug scene. Approaching its 100th year, Rohmer's account still fascinates. The drugs of choice may change with the times, but the dance of death and depravity continues on." -- WILL MURRAY , author and pulp historian, Doc Savage .
