Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #29
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Frog Prince," a delightfully absurd twist on the "Jaws" formula, a no-nonsense sheriff joins forces with a brash fisherman and a mild-mannered ichthyologist to confront a monstrous shark terrorizing a seaside town—though the real surprise might be just how far the satire stretches. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, exaggerated flair by artist Mort Drucker, this 1979 Mad Special #29 delivers classic parody with a splash of absurdity. The cover, a chaotic collage of iconic Mad artists including Jack Davis, Jack Rickard, Angelo Torres, and Paul Coker, captures the issue’s wild energy in full.
In a hilarious spoof of *Jaws*, a determined sheriff joins forces with a gruff fisherman and a nervous ichthyologist to stop a monstrous shark terrorizing the seaside town—before it’s too late. Written with sharp wit and drawn in Mad’s signature over-the-top style, "Jaw'd" delivers laughs with every page.
In this playful twist on classic tales, six short stories reimagine fairy tale tropes with a 1979 satirical edge: a politician who’s just an ordinary guy, carriage makers with a surprising secret, minstrels who give more than songs, a rescue with a twist, an author who’s not quite who he seems, and a chemist who takes safety very seriously. A delightfully absurd take on timeless stories, told with Mad’s signature wit and typeset lettering.
