The Mad Adventures of Captain Klutz

Don Martin, the legendary MAD cartoonist, brought his signature blend of rubbery, kinetic art and absurdist slapstick to this Warner Books one-shot starring the bumbling Captain Klutz. Written by Martin alongside Dick DeBartolo and Jack Hanrahan, the 1974 issue is a standalone burst of the magazine's signature satire, turning the superhero genre into a pratfall-filled punchline. It's a minor but pure artifact of MAD's golden-age irreverence, capturing the humor that defined a generation of comedy.
