Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #76
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "One Day in the Jungle," Mad Special #76 flips the script on 'Dirty Harry' with a satirical take on urban paranoia and over-the-top law enforcement. Written by Arnie Kogen and brought to life with sharp, exaggerated flair by artist Mort Drucker, the story follows a city desperate enough to enlist a dangerously unhinged detective to stop a terrorist threat. The cover, a striking piece by Kelly Freas, captures the issue’s chaotic tone with its bold, stylized imagery.
In a razor-sharp satire of "Dirty Harry," a desperate city hires a violently unhinged detective—known only as Dirty Larry—to stop a terrorist who's holding the metropolis hostage. With no regard for procedure or sanity, Larry marches through the city, one step ahead of chaos, proving that sometimes the only thing worse than a criminal is the cop hired to stop him.
In "The Mary Tailor-Made Show," a flighty divorcee navigates the chaos of a bumbling local TV newsroom, chasing both career dreams and romance in a satire of '70s sitcom tropes. With sharp wit and absurd misfires, the story skewers the era’s TV culture through the lens of a woman trying to keep her head above water—literally and figuratively.
