The first issue of Mad hit the stands 60 years ago this week — or not. I’ll get back
to that shortly.
What does this have to do with the image above, cropped from a 15-year-old drawing
of mine?

Aping Mad

Nice Day for a Sprite Wedding
Here’s another homage/parody cover of mine for CAPA-Alpha, done around the
same time as the one I shared the other day.
This one’s much less of a straight copy, adding characters and ditching the logo. It
uses as its springboard Marvel Comics’ The Uncanny X-Men #179 — dated Mar. 1984, penciled by John Romita Jr., and inked by Dan Green. I drew it for Richard Rubenstein’s ’zine after we had a discussion about superheroes who were explicitly identified as Jewish.
