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's a joke-a-minute, with fifteen of the 16 wacky features illustrated by Joe Edwards, including the lead-off story, "Ronald the Rubber Boy Meets Sabrina the the Witch Queen"!

The issue is divided into 4 main 'Sections' : 'Monster', 'Olympics', 'Space', and 'World's Fair' (playing off the then-opening of the New York World's Fair of 1964-65) with two or three short stories in each section.

This is a pretty nice copy - flexible pages, good color, minor toning, but with some rough edges and a bent corner. There is some minor, hardly noticeable staining and warping on various pages - this copy may have gotten damp at some point - but nothing mars the artwork. There is a small rubberstamped '5' at the top of the front cover. We call it a 4.0 VG. What's that you say, Mr. Overstreet? - $16.??!? uh . . how 'bout we make it $8? And we'll throw in really cheap shipping, to boot!

Call us MAD, Daddio!
