“Prince Violent!”

In "Prince Violent!", Manduck—once a master of mind control, now a down-on-his-luck snake oil salesman—faces his most bizarre challenge yet when he squares off against the enigmatic Lamont Shadowskeedeeboomboom in a battle of wits and wills. Written by Harvey Kurtzman and brought to life with sharp, surreal flair by Bill Elder on art and inks, this 1955 classic from Ballantine Books delivers a delightfully absurd showdown, all capped by Jack Davis’s wild, energetic cover.
