SKINNY-MAN

Like many budding kid cartoonists of my generation I was enamored of "Mad's Maddest Artist," Don Martin. I loved his work in the magazine, but what really set my mind ablaze were his paperback originals. These were maybe my first taste of graphic novels, and none so enthralled me as The MAD Adventures of Captain Klutz. Skinny-Man was my stab at "funny superhero" comics. The villains, "Super Cool Man" (who really looks more like Super Pimp) in particular, are pretty special. Same vintage as the others posted here (1975).
