With Captain America: The Winter Soldier number one at the box office this past weekend, I'd happened upon a copy, at a used bookstore, of a book I’d loved as a kid: 1967’s The MAD Adventures of Captain Klutz, the chronicles of MAD’s own version of Captain America, as drawn by the great Don Martin…
Rereading it, I was jolted by some of the ugly epithets it threw around, but it was a blast from the past to revisit anyway. So…
Monster-of-the-Week: …let’s give the honor to Gorgonzola, a massive arachnid which Klutz—the secret identity of down-on-his-luck comic-book lover Ringo Fonebone—must confront.
Note the always-evocative Martin sound effect...
