"Rollerbrawl." Stan Hart, writer; Angelo Torres, artist. MAD #181 (March 1976): 4-[11].

MAD presents ROLLERBALL as a commentary on contemporary society. Note opening words of the parody, among the spectators at a "Rollerbrawl" game: they explicitly relate violence in sports, rule by "the large corporations," and the destruction of individuality (three of the central themes of ROLLERBALL) to 1976 America.
