Mad #87
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Kids' Versions of Adult Films," EC’s Mad #87 (1964) takes a satirical spin on serious cinema, reimagining classics like Days of Wine and Roses, The Hustler, and Irma La Douce with a pre-teen twist—complete with a cast of funny animals in Irma La Douce and a lighthearted take on Never on Sunday and Monte Cane. Written by Stan Hart and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair by Mort Drucker, the story’s humor lies in its cleverly absurd reworking of grown-up themes, all brought to life with the distinctive, energetic style of the era. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the playful tone with its bold, exaggerated visuals.
In this playful satire from Mad #87, classic adult dramas are reimagined with a pre-teen twist—complete with silly animal characters and wholesome edits that turn steamy scenes into innocent mishaps. From a poker game where the stakes are marbles to a seaside romance with a talking fish, the story pokes fun at how serious films get sanitized for younger eyes.
