Charlton gives its Mad imitator the second of its four titles, as it continues its hit-or-miss parodies of 1950s pop culture.

An attempt at creating the comics equivalent of "Cinerama," and other widescreen experiments of 1950s Hollywood. Spoofs of 1950s advertising, including nail polish, beer, and hair care. Infinity cover by Fred Ottenheimer.

Cover by Steve Ditko. Stories and art by Steve Ditko and Dick Ayers. Charlton's Mad imitator continues its hit-or-miss parodies of 1950s pop culture. A parody of the Hitchcock classic Dial M for Murder. Future designs in cars are highlighted with art by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. This tale is from so early in Ditko's career (1955) that his usually distinctive style is almost unrecognizable. Plus an activity page, or rather, a parody of one. Spoofs of 1950s advertising, including aluminum siding and Christian Dior fashions. Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch House!; Stinkeydink and Me!; Real Gone with the Wind; Two Mobiles You Can Make; The Soup Bowl Game!; Dial "M" for Mother!; Christofer Clumsiness; Plymouth Car Show; Eat-It-Yourself Aluminum!; Christian Bore Does It Again (Sigh). 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
