Mad Archives Vol 1 HC

Email Page to Friend

When it first appeared on newsstands in 1952, no one could have known the scope of its eventual success - least of all the men who brought it into existence. It was just another 10-cent comic book, one of hundreds of titles that crowded the country's shelves and vied for the attention of a fickle and mercurial audience. It was called MAD, and it promised Humor in a Jugular Vein. MAD delivered on that promise in spades, and now the first six historic issues are reproduced in their entirety in the MAD ARCHIVES Volume One - a 224-page oversized hardcover (8 1/2" x 11") written by Harvey Kurtzman, with art by Kurtzman, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Will Elder, and John Severin! Celebrating fifty years of one of America's most popular humor magazines, this introductory volume features a foreword by current MAD Magazine co-editor Nick Meglin! Under the guidance of Kurtzman, one of history's most gifted storytellers, MAD redefined satire for an entire generation of readers - children and adults alike. And while it began as just one of an entire line of titles from visionary publisher William M. Gaines's E.C. Comics, MAD eventually outsold and outlasted them all, transforming itself from a bimonthly comic book into a monthly magazine that continues publication to this day. Popular culture, both in America and abroad, would never be quite so complacent again. Discover for yourself where it all began. MAD ARCHIVES Volume One is a 224-page oversized hardcover (8 1/2" x 11")
