Death and the Salesmen

China’s fentanyl connection: the suppliers fuelling America’s opioid epidemic. A Post Magazine investigation traces back to China the supply lines of chemicals used by cartels to produce the opioid. Under Chinese law, many sellers of fentanyl precursor chemicals are not committing criminal acts.

A skeleton wearing a hoodie and sneakers is sitting in a cluttered lab, working with test tubes and chemicals, with a phone hanging from their waist on the right side of the skeleton.

I did this Illustration cover for this investigation written by Michael Standaert for the South China Morning Post.
