Mad #26

In "Armstronger Tire Knock-Down Punch Socko for Skids!", Roger Price delivers a sharp, satirical take on crime-fighting methodology with a blend of deadpan humor and mock-serious advice, all framed through the lens of a fictional case involving the "Sissonville Fiend." Written, drawn, and inked entirely by Price, the issue showcases his signature wit, while the cover by Wally Wood and Harvey Kurtzman adds a layered, chaotic energy that perfectly complements the story’s tone—a 25-cent comic from 1955 that’s as clever as it is absurd.
