It's no Mad Magazine, but Topps' released a series of "Krazy Little Komics" back in the Sixties, parodying the major releases of Marvel and DC Comics (see also entries for The Flash and Wonder Woman). In some ways, they read like a Cliff's Notes versions of actual classic parodies of the same characters...
Here, a semi-abusive Badman and his teen sidekick skirt common crimefighting responsibilities so as to engage baddies like The Pelican, Catty-Woman and The Jokester. Why can they never come up with a good satirical variant on The Joker, anyway? Well, whatever the case, here they all are in their entirety!
