Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #29
In "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.
