Mad #61

In "The Man of Science," a 1961 EC Comics gem, a smug intellectual takes a condescending stance atop his car while a barefoot laborer works beneath him—a sharp, satirical take on class and intellect, rendered with precision by Lester Krauss in art, inks, and color. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the story’s tone with a striking, playful contrast that echoes the era’s pop-culture satire.
