The Self-Made Mad

Warner Books' The Self-Made Mad (1977) is a single-issue graphic novel that explores the psychology of ambition and delusion through its title character. The book stands as a unique artifact of the late 1970s publishing landscape, where mainstream houses briefly experimented with original, standalone comic narratives. Its creators crafted a dense, introspective story that anticipates later prestige-format work, making it a curious footnote for collectors of offbeat period pieces.
