The Ridiculously Expensive Mad #[nn]
"East Side Story" is a sharp, satirical take on the melodramatic world of small-town secrets, where the residents of a perpetually scandal-ridden community are more focused on affairs than progress. Written by Stan Hart and brought to life with exaggerated flair by artist Mort Drucker, the issue skewers the tropes of 1960s television drama with biting humor and expressive caricature. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the era’s over-the-top drama in bold, stylized lines.
