Abstract
ABSTRACT Spy vs. Spy was a seminal part of Mad Magazine, and was popular in no small part due to its wordless nature of telling stories which were both futile as well as neutral in the outcome. At the same time, the history of the creator, Antonio Prohias, was one of political struggle, freedom of speech, and the intense hatred of all things communist by the US intelligence community. This essay looks at the development of Spy vs Spy, the similarities of the stories to the real plots to kill Castro, and the legacy of the feature even to the current day.
