Mad #10
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "G.I. Shmoe!", Harvey Kurtzman delivers a sharp, satirical take on military life through a series of letters from servicemen, capturing the absurdity and frustration of everyday experiences with biting wit. The issue’s raw, unfiltered correspondence—drawn from real readers like Clare Gottfried, Manfred Waechter, and Roger Schenkman—comes to life in Kurtzman’s signature style, with his own bold pencils and inks defining the striking cover.
In "Woman Wonder!", the titular hero takes to the skies in her glass airplane to face a threat on Ko-Nee Island, using her signature body vibrations to outwit Nivlem’s henchmen before confronting the villain himself. When Nivlem reveals he’s really Steve Adore and sends her “back in the kitchen where you belong,” the story’s final panel delivers a biting twist—her new life as a domestic wife is anything but peaceful, with chaos and exhaustion on every page.
