About the series
A quirky, short-lived oddity from Western Publishing’s 1960s output, Mr. and Mrs. J. Evil Scientist ran for four issues from 1963 to 1966. Scripted primarily by animation veterans Carl Fallberg and Michael Maltese, with art by John Carey, the series gleefully spoofed monster-movie tropes through the domestic misadventures of its titular mad-scientist couple. It stands as a forgotten gem of the Silver Age, capturing the era’s playful fascination with horror-comedy before the genre fully took hold in mainstream comics.
