Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #5

In "A Modern Cinderella," Max Brandel crafts a satirical twist on a classic tale, using a rewritten Pledge of Allegiance—red stripes replaced by a revised oath—on a replica American flag to mirror the deep divisions in 1971 America. Mort Drucker’s sharp, expressive art brings the story’s biting social commentary to life, with his signature caricature style amplifying the irony. The cover, also by Drucker, matches the issue’s tone with a bold, visually striking design that captures the era’s cultural tensions.
