Dick Tracey, Bachelor: A MAD Magazine Comic Parody

DICK TRACEY, BACHELOR

A MAD Parody

Written By Stan Hart and Illustrated by Angelo Torres

Sometimes we forget that MAD Magazine started off as a comic book company and a very adult one at that. Sure in the beginning they did some parodies but it was mostly horror stuff. Stuff they would get dragged into congress for and accused of indecency.

hanks to Tales Calculated To Drive You MAD and others like them, the comic industry had to create the now defunct Comics Code Authority in order to convince congress that they could govern themselves. This was during a time when congress was looking for communists instead of doing things that would help our country. So at the time this was not considered ridiculous.

Now, enough with the history lesson enjoy the beautifully written and illustrated work above and if you're not familiar with MAD you'll soon see why they are the masters of illustrated parody.
