☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When Politicians Do Television Commercials," Lou Silverstone and Mort Drucker deliver a sharp, satirical twist on Western tropes, turning a classic frontier setting into a biting commentary on media and politics. The story follows a bumbling judge and a gang of inept cowboys as they face off against a sinister stranger whose very presence threatens to upend their dull, predictable ranch life—just as a slick, staged TV commercial might disrupt a quiet evening. The cover by Mort Drucker captures the absurdity perfectly, making this 1965 EC Comics gem a standout in the series’ legacy.
