Captain's Library MAD MAGAZINE Carl Reiner's "A Saw Screams at Midnight"

Behind the cover of MAD #30 (1956) which is as appropriate today as it was then...
...lurks the only known comic book work by the late, great Carl Reiner (1922-2020)!
The book this never-reprinted two-page piece excerpts is A Saw Screams at Midnight (1956)...
...attributed to "G A Mills".
Oddly, "Mills" never wrote anything else, so it's likely this was a joint project by some (or all) the Hail Caesar writing staff (which Reiner was a member of) or Reiner himself.
Trivia: this is one of a half-dozen features that are not included in the Totally MAD cd-roms that otherwise have everything else in every issue of MAD Magazine (not the earlier color comic) up to when it was released in early 1999, so when we say "never-reprinted", we mean it!
BTW, Carl was a patriot to the end...as THIS VIDEO will attest!
Don't let Carl be forgotten...
