Mad Super Special #Mad Autumn '87 Super Special Number 60

In "The Jumper," writer Stan Hart and artist Harry North deliver a sharp, satirical slice of 1987 European travel with a pair of neurotic American tourists whose journey through Europe becomes a series of comically exaggerated encounters with local quirks. The story, rendered with dry wit and precise detail, finds humor in the clash of cultural expectations—without ever stepping outside the bounds of the couple’s stubborn perceptions. Cover by Richard Williams captures the comic’s tone with a striking, slightly surreal image that perfectly complements the issue’s quirky, observational edge.
