The Complete Color Mad #2

Jan 1986 · Russ Cochran · [none]
“Shermlock Shomes!”

"Shermlock Shomes!" is a delightfully absurd satire from Harvey Kurtzman, whose sharp wit shines in this 1986 installment of The Complete Color Mad. Packed with zany letters from readers across the country—including a fan of Franz Liszt, a self-proclaimed "E.C. Fan-Addict," and a mysterious correspondent named Zogg—this issue channels Mad’s signature irreverence with a cover by Kurtzman himself, both penciled and inked in his unmistakable style.
