Each 80pp magazine is printed in full colour in a similar format and layout to the original editions, bound in sewn sections as a paperback with french flap covers. All five issues are housed in a handsome slipcase.
Ably translated by Joe E. Bandel, Kokain includes works by such well-known names as Hanns Heinz Ewers (1871-1943) (including two hitherto unrecognised pieces contributed under pseudonyms), Karl Hans Strobl (1877-1946) author and editor of Der Orchideengarten- the worlds first fantasy magazine, the Russian expressionist Leonid Andreyev (1871–1919), Paul Leppin (1878-1945) ‘the German-Bohemian Baudelaire’ and Joseph Roth (1894-1939) author of The Radetzky March. Among its other contents are various tales by now largely forgotten authors some of which included scenes of sex and violence (such as an anonymously authored lesbian spy serial) that pushed at the boundaries of decency and ultimately resulted in prosecutions and bans. These legal issues, and acrimony between the journals publisher Fritz Bauer and its artistic editor Stefan Eggeler resulted in the journals collapse within tenth months of its debut issue.
Originally, the fourth issue of Kokain was a re-issue of the third which had been prosecuted for both its written and artistic content but rather than reprint that issue twice, it has instead been devoted to Kokains artistic director Stefan Eggeler (1895-1970).
