Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #16

Jan 1975 · EC · 1.00 USD
“Pinocchio”

In a delightfully absurd twist on Hollywood vanity projects, a college student’s hypnosis session reveals a surprising filmography—where she’s starred in a string of blockbuster movies, all playing the same iconic role. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with sharp, caricatured flair by Mort Drucker, this Mad Special parody turns cinematic repetition into a laugh-out-loud satire. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the surreal tone with a perfectly exaggerated portrait of the student mid-hypnosis.
