About the series
A Drug War Carol is a one-shot political graphic novel from Big Head Press, released in 2003. It recasts Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol" as a critique of the American War on Drugs, with a miserly drug enforcement official visited by three spirits. The story is most associated with writer and artist Rick Geary, known for his detailed, historically-minded illustration style. This single issue stands as a pointed, satirical commentary on drug policy, using a timeless holiday tale to frame a contemporary debate.
