Mad #132

In "On the Trail with a Zoologist," EC's Mad #132 delivers a delightfully absurd parody of Ripley's Believe It or Not, spotlighting the bizarre and the gloriously mundane. From a woman repeatedly mugged 2,178 times to a transatlantic phone call from Bismarck, North Dakota, to London, England, the issue thrives on its offbeat charm. Written by Arnie Kogen and brought to life with full art, inks, colors, and letters by Bob Clarke, the cover by Lester Krauss captures the spirit of the madness within.
