Monday Madness MAD-DOG "Rabid"

He is The Hero We Need NOW...

...at least, that's what they thought in 1992, according to Ace Comics' editor Harlan Stone.
Writer Evan Dorkin, penciler Gordon Pucell, and inker Ray McCarthy play along with the premise of the short-lived TV 1990s series BOB (starring Bob Newhart) about a Silver Age comic character being revived in the Dark Age of the 1990s.
Editor Harlan Stone, mentioned above, is the character on the show who supports reimagining the Adam West-Batman-like Mad-Dog as a psychopathic killer vigilante, which Mad-Dog's creator, Bob McKay, hates, as shown in this "behind the scenes" page...
So, Stone proposes this comic (published by Marvel) which will present both versions!
You can read Bob McKay's upbeat Silver Age version right now over at our 'brother" RetroBlog Hero Histories by clicking HERE!
And you can watch (yes, watch) the series' origin story at another "brother" RetroBlog, Secret Sanctum of Captain Video, by clicking HERE!
