Item Description

I was hooked on ARCHIE'S MAD HOUSE when I was a pre-teen . . . being a little too old for kiddie comics, maybe not old enough for MAD MAGAZINE!  This was ARCHIE's answer to teen-age snarkyness and weird humor at a time that it must have seemed like teens were ruling the media!

Here are 36 pages of rapid-fire spoofs, goofs, satire, and random silliness, all in innocent good fun (as the ARCHIE UNIVERSE presented itself). This is an especially amusing issue, with most of its eight features equally split between well-known 'Archie' artists Bob White, Joe Edwards and Dan DeCarlo.

HILDA the Witch is the Mistress of Ceremonies, and introduces the 'Mad Lab Section', and 'The Monster Section'! Typical of the parodies within, is King Kong thinking the Statue of Liberty is his girlfriend!

This is a pretty nice copy - flexible pages, good color, minor toning, but with some cracks, discoloring and splits on the front cover and a missing corner.  But nothing mars the 'cool, with-it' and jokey artwork.  

We call it a 3.0 GD/VG.  What's that you say, Mr. Overstreet? - $8.??!?  uh . . how 'bout we make it $5?  And we'll throw in really cheap shipping, to boot!  

Call us MAD, Daddio!
