Written by George Gladir and brought to life with bold art by Chic Stone, inks by Rudy Lapick, and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, this 1968 classic blends absurd humor with a touch of suspense. The cover, by Gus Lemoine and Jon D'Agostino, captures the chaos with a striking, exaggerated scene that perfectly sets the tone for the madness within.
