Mad #169

In "The Frog Prince," a no-nonsense Marshal from New Mexico rides into Manhattan, armed and determined, to tackle the city's escalating crime wave—his rugged methods and square-jawed resolve putting him at odds with the urban chaos he’s sworn to fix. Written by Lou Silverstone and brought to life with bold, expressive art by Angelo Torres, this Mad #169 tale blends Western grit with urban satire in a story that’s as sharp as it is absurd. The cover, a classic Mort Drucker caricature, captures the comic’s irreverent spirit with a wink and a grin.
