About the series
From 1996 to 1999, EC Comics released the two-issue Mad Star Wars Spectacular, a satirical spin on the blockbuster film saga that blended the signature irreverence of Mad magazine with the galaxy far, far away. Writers David Shayne and Frank Jacobs, alongside artists Harry North and James Warhola, delivered a parody that skewered characters, tropes, and pop culture phenomena of the Star Wars universe. Though brief, the series stands as a playful, era-specific artifact of EC's late-1990s humor comics, capturing the enduring crossover between two beloved franchises.
