The Mad House Glads #88

This Giant-sized Archie Series entry delivers the cheerful chaos Mad House Glads fans had come to love by 1973. Stan Goldberg's cover pencils capture a wonderfully baffled trio — two girls and a blond fellow — staring slack-jawed at a disheveled, wild-haired young man in torn clothes, trading speech bubbles of disbelief: "That's Rod? THAT'S Rod? I see it, but I don't believe it!" The cover teaser promises "Mail Order Mayhem" and poses the irresistible question of what could turn "the best dressed cat in town" into a super slob — reason enough to flip right past that yellow Giant spine.
