The Return of a Mad Look at Old Movies

Dick DeBartolo and Jack Davis teamed up for this three-issue series from New American Library, a satirical send-up of classic cinema that first appeared in 1970 and has continued sporadically ever since. Davis’s famously energetic, caricature-driven art brings a madcap energy to DeBartolo’s scripts, which gleefully poke fun at Hollywood clichés and old movie conventions. Though brief in its original run, the series stands as a fond, funny tribute to film history by two masters of comic parody.
