"Crime stopper's Handbook"! I grew up reading Dick Tracy in the Chicago Tribune. Good stuff! The '70's were wacky with all the sci-fi stuff - before Star Wars.
WOW! I've never seen Dick Tracy so "Mad."
Awesome! I went through my Mad Magazine phase from about '73 to '76. I have to say, Ross, that this cover is worthy to appear in Mad Magazine during that era.
In addition to Spy vs. Spy I loved Dave Berg's "The Lighter Side of...", Al Jaffe's fold-in back covers and "Snappy Answers to Stupic Questions", anything by Sergio, the movie and TV satires by Mort Drucker and Jack Davis (among others) and, of course, the cartoons of "Mad's Maddest Artist" Don Martin. This cover brought all those happy memories flooding back....
You did Alfred E. Neuman proud!
I liked the Spy vs Spy vs Spy strips where the female gray Spy entered into the fun.
Like Sonofjack, I read Mad in the '70s, though I only picked it up occasionally; and I fondly remember all of the features on the above list. It's a pleasant surprise to see the Spies on this blog; I was afraid that Captain Klutz would be the only Mad entry to be found.
Now we only need Alfred E. Neuman to show up -- perhaps under Batman's cowl, or Iron Man's helmet.
(In a similar vein, yesterday I was just musing and thought of: Snow White and the Seven Soldiers of Victory!)
The only problem with using Alfred E. Neuman is that, via MAD covers, he's already teamed with just about everyone!
The more I think about it, the more I can actually see this cover being featured inside an issue of Mad under the title "Comic Book Covers We'd Like to See".
@Anonymous: Boo! That was the worst pun ever.
@Carycomic:
Undeniably so (lol!).
I could see the Spy vs. Spy guys fitting into Tracy's Rogues Gallery quite nicely, along with Flattop, Pruneface and the Brow for example.
Ross, this is true genius! Insane, stark raving genius! One might hope for a sequel with Spy 3 and Tess Truehart, or some other spinoff with Spy 3 (Carmen Sandiego? Madame Hydra? The possibilities are delicious!)
You keep rocking, sir. You just keep on rocking.
Thankls guys! Wait, there was a third, female Spy? I never knew that.
I loved it!
Ross, there is a gray woman:

The obvious team-up would be with Marvel's Irving Forbush, alias 'Forbush Man'... although the latter should also meet Ambush Bug, because he is named Irving as well...

THIS.
I second that motion! Rescuing a wronged princess in distress would especially be right up the Shining Knight's alley.
