Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
These are the first four of five scheduled facsimile editions of the original MAD paperbacks from the 1950s written by "the usual gang of idiots," as the publication professed. Love it or hate it, MAD has been read by everyone, and Alfred E. Newman is one of the 20th century's most unlikely cultural icons. Some of the material might be a tad dated (parodies of long-gone comic strips and TV shows like Howdy Doody), but funny is funny and this is. The MAD reprints are great pieces of Americana and essential for pop culture collections. If you don't buy these, then you're.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Still great, after all these years.,
By
This review is from: Utterly Mad: Mad Reader (Mad Readers) (Volume 4) (Paperback)
I originally read Mad as a 10-cent comic book (a sign of our times, no cents sign on a computer keyboard) and then as a 25-cent magazine. Wish I had held on to them. I could sell them and retire. Anyway, you electronic agers will probably not get a lot of the humor, but you can still appreciate the wonderful illustrations by Will Elder, Wally Wood, etc. And anybody should appreciate the multitude of sight gags in almost every illustration. Illustration these days is down the tubes. Take a look at what fine drawing used to be like.
