The Mad House Glads #75

Poor Dan has discovered the short circuit in the band's amplifier the hard way — the cover by Dan DeCarlo shows him engulfed in a crackling electrical explosion while his Madhouse Glads bandmates look on in wide-eyed, perfectly timed disbelief. It's a wonderfully absurd snapshot of late-'60s teen-band humor, complete with fringed vests, a polka-dot shirt, and a drum kit proudly bearing the group's name. This 1970 Archie gem promises the kind of breezy, gag-filled fun that made the series a dependable laugh for its era.
