Mad #11
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMad magazine's self-proclaimed "Beautiful Girl of the Month" graces this May 1954 EC issue with a gloriously grotesque portrait — Basil Wolverton's cover depicts a wide-eyed, snaggle-toothed, alligator-snouted woman wearing a pearl necklace, her stringy hair swept to one side against a gritty urban skyline. The deadpan caption calling her beautiful is precisely the kind of sharp, absurdist wit that made Mad's tagline — "Humor in a Jugular Vein" — feel so perfectly earned. At just ten cents, this is EC Comics irreverence in full, wonderful bloom.
