Mad House Annual #10

Part of Archie's Giant Series line, this 1972 annual puts the spotlight on the Mad House Glads — a groovy teen rock band — performing on a colorful stage while an enthusiastic crowd dances and cheers them on. One bandmate quips that their group is "ahead of the times" because all their watches are ten minutes fast, setting the tone for the humor-packed content inside. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils capture that era's freewheeling energy beautifully, and at 25 cents this oversized annual packed in plenty of laughs for the money.
