Mad's Greatest Artists: Mort Drucker #[nn]
A grotesque twist on classic superhero tropes, "The Rolly Cigarette Ad" delivers a satirical blast from Mort Drucker’s signature pen, with writer Stan Hart crafting a darkly comic tale of crime and absurdity. When fugitive Yack Nattier transforms into the grotesque Jerker after a fall into toxic waste, his rampage through the city is as deadly as it is hilariously over-the-top. The story’s sharp, caricatured art by Drucker—both penciled and inked—perfectly captures the absurd menace of the Jerker’s campaign, all leading to a showdown that’s as inevitable as it is anticlimactic.

Fleeing from Battyman, criminal Yack Nattier falls into a vat of toxic waste and becomes the Jerker. The Jerker begins a citywide campaign of shooting, killing, and poisoning, laughing all the way. As the Jerker falls to his death during a fight, Battyman follows. That way they can both avoid the sequel.
