Mad #217
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Crymore vs. Crymore," two identical men named Crymore face off in a surreal, deadpan battle of wits and wills, each claiming to be the real one—while the world around them dissolves into absurd, satirical movie posters that mock Cold War anxieties and suburban dread. Written by Frank Jacobs and Mike Snider and drawn with sharp, deadpan precision by Jack Rickard, this Mad classic blends biting satire with visual gags, all framed by Al Jaffee’s iconic, tongue-in-cheek cover art.
