Boasting a cover by fan-favorite painter Alex Ross (Kingdom Come) and an introduction by Adam West, the high-camp Batman of the 1960s, this big trade paperback reprints some of Mad’s best super-hero parodies, many of which are movie and television spoofs. In addition to Superduperman, Woman Wonder, Bat Boy and Rubin, and Plastic Sam by legends like Harvey Kurtzman (Weird Science), Wally Wood (T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents), Bill Elder (Frontline Combat), and Russ Heath (Our Army at War), there’s also “Superduperman the Movie,” “Smellville,” “Buttman Returns,” and “$-Men,” which take on “Superman the Movie,” “Smallville,” “Batman Returns,” and “X-Men,” respectively. This is fun, fun, fun stuff from “The Usual Gang of Super-Idiots.”
