Archie's Madhouse #31

Even on Mars, there's no escaping the taxman — that's the delightful absurdity on display in this February 1964 issue of Archie's Madhouse, with cover art by Samm Schwartz. Two astronauts in green spacesuits have cracked open a glittering treasure chest on the Martian surface, only to be interrupted by a stern-faced Bureau of Internal Revenue agent striding toward them with his briefcase, firing back "That's what you think!" A rocket and sleek spacecraft loom in the background, making this one of the more charmingly satirical covers of the era — perfect for fans of Archie's signature mix of laughs and light social commentary.
