Mad About Super Heroes

Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Elder—the legendary team behind EC’s Mad—bring their signature satirical bite to the superhero genre in this two-issue series from 2002. Each installment gleefully skewers the tropes and icons of caped crusaders, with Elder’s wildly detailed, chaotic art amplifying Kurtzman’s sharp, irreverent scripts. Though brief, it’s a late-era EC gem that channels the same anarchic spirit that defined the original Mad magazine, offering a timeless parody for fans of classic comic humor.
