Yardie - Victor Headley

gang war hits London - yardie style!

At Heathrow Airport's busy immigration desk, a newly-arrived Jamaican strolls through with a kilo of top-grade cocaine strapped to his body. And keeps on walking...

By the time the syndicate get to hear about the missing consignment, D is in business-for himself-as the Front Line's newest don.

But D's treachery will never be forgotten-or forgiven. The message filters down from the Yardie crime lords to their soldiers on the streets:

Find D. Find the merchandise. And make him pay for his sins...

Reefer Madness

 






REEFER MADNESS
TREVOR L. HUGHES
ZEPHYR PUBLICATIONS
1989-1997

Pretty cool 'dope' fanzine from the people at Hawkfrendz, it ran to 11 issues in total, 10 issues for Volume 1 and just the single issue for Volume 2. Features lots of vintage comic strips, cover art and other 'dope' related features, this is well worth picking up if you see it.
