In "The Ecchorcist," a desperate mother enlists a weary Catholic priest and his skeptical, unenthusiastic assistant to confront a disturbing case that defies medical explanation—when a young girl’s violent outbursts and grotesque behavior resist all conventional treatment. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, this 1974 EC Comics parody channels the eerie tone of "The Exorcist" with biting satire and dark humor. The cover, by Bob Clarke, captures the story’s unsettling spirit with its stark, exaggerated imagery.

In a deadpan satire of *The Exorcist*, a desperate mother enlists a weary priest and his reluctant apprentice to deal with her daughter’s increasingly bizarre behavior—mood swings and grotesque outbursts that leave the medical world baffled. With the tone of a straight-faced horror tale undercut by absurdity, the story follows the unlikely duo as they attempt to diagnose a case that defies logic, all set in the dry, typeset humor of Mad #170.
