The Mad Frontier #12 (86-066)
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of the 1975 Mad Frontier series, a satirical science fiction comic that lampoons classic space opera and pulp adventure tropes. Featuring the iconic gap-toothed mascot Alfred E. Neuman in a series of absurd extraterrestrial escapades, the volume showcases the irreverent humor and parody style that defined the Mad franchise during this era.
In "The National Safety Council's Holiday-Weekend Telethon," Paul Laikin and Wally Wood deliver a delightfully satirical take on the behind-the-scenes chaos of a live broadcast, rendered in the format of a mock movie credits roll. With Wally Wood’s sharp, detailed art and Norman Mingo’s crisp cover, the issue playfully assigns professional-sounding titles to everyday roles—like "Assistant to the Assistant to the Assistant" and "Cable Technician (Unofficial)"—all while keeping the tone light and the humor grounded in the absurdity of routine.
