☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"East Side Story" is a standout tale from Mad #78 (1963), a satirical musical take on the political tensions at the United Nations, styled like the film West Side Story. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, the story uses the familiar structure of rival factions to skewer international diplomacy with wit and flair. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the drama in bold, dynamic lines.
