Big things are afoot and you won't want to miss this dynamic barrier buster. Robots, rayguns, mutants, monsters, and mad scientists all merge in the wonderful world of Snap City in one tale, while Frank "Madman" Einstein, and his girl, Joe, "think" they're on a vacation at a theme park in the other. Every issue of M.A.C. always promises big surprises and this issue is no different. Jump on the MADMAN bullet train!
