Dope

Více o knize

Set in London's Limehouse area, this 1919 novel explores the life of Billie Carleton, a young actress whose tumultuous lifestyle leads to her tragic overdose in 1918. Unlike Rohmer's Fu Manchu series, the focus here is on cannabis rather than opium, delving into themes of addiction and societal scandal. The story has been adapted into comics by Trina Robbins and was later published in a collected edition by IDW Publishing, featuring a postface by John B. Cooke.
