Item Description
I was hooked on ARCHIE'S MAD HOUSE when I was a pre-teen . . . being too old for kiddie comics, maybe not old enough for MAD MAGAZINE! This was ARCHIE's answer to teen-age snarkyness and weird humor at a time that it must have seemed like teens were ruling the media!Here are 36 pages of rapid-fire spoofs, goofs, satire, and random silliness, all in innocent good fun (as the ARCHIE UNIVERSE presented itself). It kicks off with the feature 'Small small World' (5 years before the similarly-named attraction opened in Disneyland!) showing problems that teens encounter in other countries: Scotland, Congo, North Pole, India, China, Iraq, and South Sea!
After that, things devolve mainly into more craziness, in features like "The Mad House Hall of Fame", "Teenage Olympics", "How to improve TV" and "The Invention of Comic Books"!
Several artists and their varying styles are present, including Tom Moore, Bob White, Samm Schwartz and the great Orlando Busino!
This is a pretty nice copy - flexible pages, good color, minor toning, but with a date stamp on the front cover and a small spot stain on the back cover. We call it a 4.0 VG. What's that you say, Mr. Overstreet? - $10.??!? uh . . how 'bout we make it $6? And we'll throw in really cheap shipping, to boot!
Call us MAD, Daddio!
