Mad #164

In "On a Cold Winter Evening," a weary con artist finds himself reluctantly paired with a brash ten-year-old girl during a bleak winter in the Depression-Era American Southwest, in a sharp, satirical take on the film Paper Moon. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, the story captures the uneasy rhythm of an odd couple on the run. The cover, by Norman Mingo, perfectly mirrors the tale’s blend of humor and grit.
