Archie's Madhouse #14
In "The Bat's Tale of Terror," Archie's Madhouse #14 (1961) delivers a delightfully absurd lineup of malfunctioning inventions, from a hope chest housing a live boy to a record that plays music to help you fail a report card. Penciled and inked by Joe Edwards, the story unfolds with surreal humor and chaotic charm, all wrapped in a cover by Bob White that captures the madness perfectly.
