What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a single panel from a vintage-style comic book, printed in halftone color. A sweating, wild-eyed man in a green shirt cries "I... need a marijuana! I gotta have a reefer!!" while smoke curls across his face from the cigarettes of the men around him, one bespectacled figure behind him and a hand in the foreground, who answer "Talk first! Start talking!" The panel's title, publisher, and artist are unverified. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
