Alfred Hitchcock

A comedic comics caricature of the real-life director Alfred Hitchcock, this satirical incarnation of the "Master of Suspense" appeared in Mad and similar humor publications, poking fun at the filmmaker's iconic persona with the wry, irreverent style the genre was known for.

Few figures from the Silver Age carry quite the same air of wry, knowing mischief as this Alfred Hitchcock — a comedic comics incarnation brought to life by the legendary Don Martin in the pages of Mad in 1961. Appearing across publications like Mad, Sick, and even Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, this version of the Master of Suspense kept wonderfully eclectic company, sharing pages with the likes of Superman, Bob Hope, and the Rat Pack's own Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. With a catalog presence stretching from 1961 all the way to 1992, this is a character whose comic book footprint quietly endured across three decades of pop culture. A compact but characterful entry for any collector with a taste for Silver Age satire and the golden era of celebrity parody comics.
