Original 1958 U.S. one sheet for The Narcotic Story, a hard-hitting semi-documentary exposé on addiction and vice. The shocking imagery and bold tagline — “Strips the Gloss and Mystery from the Sordid Depravity of the Living Death!” — perfectly capture the era’s moral panic over drug use. Linen backed and restored for preservation, this scarce 1950s exploitation poster remains one of the most striking anti-drug designs of the period and a prized example of American social-issue cinema advertising.
Censorship present in reference image; original poster shows uncensored artwork.
