“The Sword Duel”

In "The Sword Duel," Dick DeBartolo and Kedzie North deliver a sharp, satirical take on the spectacle of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, skewering the absurdity of its oversized floats, the crowd's gawking energy, and the over-the-top TV coverage—all rendered with crisp, dynamic flair by Angelo Torres. Norman Mingo’s cover perfectly captures the parade’s chaotic charm, making this 1972 EC classic a standout in the Mad tradition.
