Oddball Comic 5/19/08: Archie's Madhouse!
Rob Allen
ODDBALL COMIC #1,225 -- MONDAY, MAY 19, 2008 -- No, you haven’t been
sniffing glue! This week’s ODDBALL COMIC is an issue of ARCHIE’S
MADHOUSE with a great cover-gag about the “monster model” fad of the
Swingin’ Sixties drawn by TALES CALCULATED TO DRIVE YOU BATS’
brilliant co-creator Orlando Busino! Plus, tons of pop-cultural
stories, articles, gags and an early tale of “Sabrina The Teen Witch”,
with the whole magilla hosted by Archie Comics’ forgotten superhero,
Captain Sprocket! But what’s the story on the incredible coincidence
between this cover and a concurrent similar-but-entirely-different one
for MAD magazine?
