Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #20
In "The Fairy Godmother," Dick De Bartolo spins a satirical twist on the medical drama genre, imagining a metropolitan hospital where the staff’s obsession with a patient’s life story takes precedence over their actual medical condition. With sharp, expressive art by Angelo Torres and a delightfully absurd cover by Don Martin, this 1976 Mad Super Special delivers its signature humor with a straight face—just like the doctors in the story.
