The Self-Made Mad #Y6981
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the complete run of the 1971 underground comix series The Self-Made Mad, originally published by New American Library. The book presents a satirical, counterculture take on societal norms through a series of surreal and often darkly humorous comic strips, reflecting the era's anti-establishment ethos. It stands as a notable artifact of early 1970s alternative comics, capturing the raw, experimental spirit of the underground comix movement.
"Fishing" is a delightfully absurd comic strip parody that turns Broadway musical tropes on their head, featuring Rex Morgan’s bizarre scheme to steal Annie’s eyes—only to be thwarted by a surprisingly coordinated rescue led by Sandy, Dick Tracy, and Tarzan, with unexpected help from Snuffy Smith. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with energetic art by Wally Wood, the issue’s cover by Norman Mingo captures the zany spirit of the story in bold, expressive lines.
