Mad #121
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"A July 4th Salute" in Mad #121 (1968) delivers a sharp, satirical take on the film Valley of the Dolls, following three aspiring actresses navigating the cutthroat world of Hollywood—complete with questionable choices, tangled relationships, and the ever-present struggle to land a role. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with witty precision by artist Mort Drucker, the story captures the absurdity of fame with a mix of humor and irony. The cover, by Norman Mingo, perfectly sets the tone with its over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek homage to the era’s dramatic flair.
