Madhouse Comics Digest #1

A full 160 pages of full-color comedy chaos arrives with this 1975 Fawcett/Archie digest, and Samm Schwartz sets the tone perfectly on the cover: a martial artist in a white gi smashes clean through a brick wall with a flying kick, while a wrecking ball swings uselessly nearby and a worker hollers that the "kung fu guy wrecks a building quicker!" Surrounding the central gag, the border is packed with a delightful rogue's gallery — giant insects, a green-skinned monster, a mummy, a robot, a masked figure, and more — hinting at the wild variety inside, including a Hilda the Witch monster section. For fans of Archie's humor universe, this oversized digest is a wonderfully zany package.
