Mad #499
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMad's April 2009 issue takes dead aim at the Watchmen phenomenon, and Mark Fredrickson's painted cover sets the tone perfectly — a rubbery, grinning Alfred E. Neuman face peeks out from Rorschach's inkblot mask, trench coat, fedora, and leather gloves, hands spread in a mock-helpless shrug. The side-bar text "Who Wants to Watch Watchmen?" delivers the punchline before you even open the cover. Inside, Peter Kuper handles writing, art, and inking duties, promising the sharp satirical energy Mad fans expect.
