Spy vs. Spy is a wordless
comic strip published in
Mad magazine. It features two agents involved in
espionage activities who are completely identical except for the fact that one is dressed all in white and the other all in black. The pair are constantly at war with each other, using a variety of
booby-traps to inflict harm on the other. The spies usually alternate between victory and defeat with each new strip. A metaphor for the
Cold War, the strip was created by
Cuban expatriate cartoonist Antonio Prohías, and debuted in
Mad #60, dated January 1961.
Spy vs. Spy is currently written and drawn by
Peter Kuper.
