“Gulliver's Travails”

In "Gulliver's Travails," Dick DeBartolo and Angelo Torres deliver a sharp, satirical twist on Cold War espionage, where a mild-mannered diplomatic dalliance between a British and Soviet official spirals into a farcical international incident. With Norman Mingo’s deadpan cover capturing the absurd tension, this 1975 EC classic blends political satire and comic exaggeration in a story that’s as clever as it is quietly subversive.
