Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #37
"One Night in the Big City" delivers a delightfully absurd take on the King Kong mythos, reimagining the classic tale with a crew of oil prospectors, a stowaway anthropologist, and a castaway who find themselves face-to-face with a towering, city-crushing ape. Written by Dick DeBartolo and brought to life with sharp, exaggerated flair by artists Harry North, this Mad Super Special #37 is a riotous satire that leans into the over-the-top spectacle of its source material. The cover, a chaotic masterpiece by Sergio Aragonés, perfectly captures the issue’s irreverent spirit.
