The Medicine Mad #44
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1977 Warner Books collection gathers a selection of satirical comic strips and gags from the pages of MAD Magazine, all centered on the theme of medical madness. Featuring the iconic gap-toothed mascot Alfred E. Neuman, the volume lampoons doctors, hospitals, and health fads with the publication's trademark irreverent humor.
In "Where Vultures Fare," a satirical take on the wartime adventure genre, a bizarrely mismatched U.S./British commando team is sent on a high-stakes raid behind enemy lines—complete with over-the-top tactics and absurdly exaggerated military posturing. Written by Larry Siegel and illustrated by Angelo Torres, the issue blends sharp humor with pulpy action, all wrapped in a cover by Norman Mingo that captures the absurdity perfectly.

In a parody of the film "Where Eagles Dare," the military commissions a joint U.S./British commando raid on a German army headquarters, much the same way two previous films had.
