Barbra Streisand

A satirical caricature of the real-life entertainer, this version of Barbra Streisand appeared in Mad's celebrity lampoonery tradition, skewering the famous singer and actress alongside other pop-culture figures of the era.

A satirical stand-in for the legendary entertainer herself, this Barbra Streisand made her comics debut in the pages of Mad #90 in 1964 — brought to life by none other than the incomparable Frank Frazetta during the Silver Age's golden run of celebrity lampoonery. She's turned up across Mad, Life with Archie, and the delightfully titled Any Similarity to Persons Living or Dead Is Purely Coincidental, keeping rarefied company alongside the likes of Alfred E. Neuman, Ringo Starr, and Ronald Reagan. With a presence stretching across five decades of comics culture, she's a small but charming footnote in the grand tradition of pop-culture parody that made EC's Mad an institution — and any issue graced by Frazetta's hand is always worth a second look.
