Jacqueline Kennedy

A fictionalized portrayal of the real First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy appeared in EC's satirical comics — including Mad — alongside caricatures of JFK, Nixon, and Alfred E. Neuman, reflecting the era's fascination with Camelot-era glamour and political celebrity.

Few figures from the real world made the leap to Silver Age comics quite like Jacqueline Kennedy, who stepped onto the page in 1961 alongside some truly eclectic company — from John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon to Alfred E. Neuman himself, which tells you something about the satirical spirit of her appearances. Published by EC across titles including Mad, Caroline Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, she was very much a figure of her cultural moment, reflecting comics' fascination with the glamour and drama of early-1960s American public life. With only seven catalog appearances across a run that stretched through the decade, she's a rare and fascinating slice of Silver Age history — the kind of find that reminds collectors just how boldly the comics page once engaged with the world beyond it.
