GANGSTERS AND GUN MOLLS #3     [SEE MORE]

DATE: March 1952
STORY TITLE:   "Janita Perez - the Gypsy Killer"
STORY PLOT:   Not a reefer madness story. Marihuana is only mentioned once and then only under the word Weed, In "Janita Perez - the gypsy killer."

In one of the scene(s) she says " You wanted out -- But your can never get away from the WEED habit. -- It eats into you--You've got to have it!" -- Not worth reading.

GREEN MASK #3     [SEE MORE]

DATE: Winter 1940
STORY TITLE:   "Gang Buster Robinson"
STORY PLOT:   The comic does have a marihuana mention story in it, but it's not a "Green Mask" story, instead it's a "Gang-Buster" Robinson (By Harold Vance) story. The story involves a newly appointed prosecutor who battles against a Gang of dope peddlers. Needless to say the dope is medical marihuana. Not really a reefer madness story, but worth reading.
FOOTNOTES:   [1]- Reprinted from WONDER COMICS #1  
Publisher: Fox Features syndicate



INFORMER #2     [SEE MORE]

DATE: June 1954
STORY TITLE:   "Death Is The Payoff!"
STORY PLOT:   A Heroin story, the only mention of Medical Marihuana is as follows: "St Louis knew the kid all right, her name was Mella Trebs as a lark, she'd started on reefers in high school. At 16 Mella was already on Horse (heroin) when the cops first picked her up." Sort of a Medical Marihuana as a starter drug, etc. - Not worth reading.
FOOTNOTES:   [1]- Not worth reading. [2]- Comic seems to come from a TV series.
Publisher: Feature Television Productions, 480 Lexington Ave., New York 17, N.Y.



JUMBO COMICS #101     [SEE MORE]

DATE: 7/1/1947
STORY TITLE:   "I'm Just an Old Song and Dance Man - (aka) ZX-5 (Reefer Racket!)"
STORY PLOT:   In all honesty, I don't know if one can recommend this story to the reader. It concerns Agent ZX-5 who, for whatever reason, puts on some back face paint (except the lips, those are white) and joins a Song/Dance Troop. Well you guessed it, someone in the carnival is selling reefers to medical marihuana addicts etc. Again, it's not that good of a story, with many others out there that are much better.
CHARACTURES:  Agent ZX-5
FOOTNOTES:   [1]-
