“Shermlock Shomes!”

In "Shermlock Shomes!", a satirical twist on the film Joe sees a wealthy father take drastic measures after his daughter’s drug-addicted boyfriend disappears—only to team up with a volatile construction worker in a bizarre, deadpan quest through the city’s underground scene. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, exaggerated flair by Mort Drucker, this Mad Special #18 is a hilarious, dead-serious parody from 1975, with a cover by the legendary Bill Elder, Wally Wood, and Jack Davis.
