“Some Mad Devices for Safer Smoking”

In "Some Mad Devices for Safer Smoking," writer Larry Siegel and artist Mort Drucker deliver a sharp, satirical take on fame and the music industry, spotlighting a record promoter who claims he can turn anyone—no matter how ordinary, or even a chimp—into a teen idol. With Norman Mingo’s sharp, expressive cover capturing the absurdity of the moment, this 1970 New American Library gem offers a wry, visually inventive look at the machinery behind stardom.
