Mad #533

In "Spy Vs Spy," Peter Kuper delivers a sharp, visually inventive twist on the classic espionage duel, with the White Spy using a water-parting staff to breach the Black Spy’s moat—only to face the unexpected danger lurking beneath. The Black Spy, meanwhile, falls for a clever ruse involving a cliff overhang, setting up a tense standoff where wit and misdirection reign. The story’s art, all by Kuper, is a masterclass in expressive line and composition, while Mark Fredrickson’s cover captures the absurd tension of the rivalry with crisp, stylized flair.
