Cover by: Paul Coker Jr.

Are you ever seized by an uncontrollable desire to spend more time escaping the doldrums and letting out an insane cackle in the process? Then get ready for the Mad Monster Book of Horrifying Cliches, a new collection of more than eighty of the best crazy colloquial creatures created by Mad magazine’s Phil Hahn and Paul Coker. Jr. with newly colored artwork, this first-ever collection comes with not one but two all-new introductions by none other than Phil Hahn and Paul Coker Jr.

People may say they dislike clichés, but the fact is that things become clichés for a reason: they’re very familiar. In this compilation of full-page cartoons originally presented in Mad magazine, these clichés truly have taken on a life of their own, in the form of horrifying monsters. Thus, a person who is “troubled by a nagging doubt” has a scaly, blue-colored creature dogging his heels. A man who’s “laboring under an illusion” is chained to a wheel while an immense, whip-bearing monster (an “illusion”) stands ominously over him. And somebody who’s “drowning his sorrows” or “escaping the doldrums” – again, the actions are literal, because the objects are three-dimensional monsters.
