“Mannie Get Your Ghoul”

In "Mannie Get Your Ghoul," EC's Mad #85 skewers the slick rhetoric of pharmaceutical advertising with a satirical take on corporate greed. The story, illustrated in full by Lester Krauss with bold, sharp art, mocks a company boasting about its profits while quietly hinting at the dangers of its product. The cover by Norman Mingo captures the absurd tone with a striking, exaggerated image that perfectly complements the issue’s biting satire.
