Book Description
Collected here for the first time in one easy-to-dispose-of volume is an inside look at the outside of Mad. Launched
in 1952 as a ten-cent comic book, Mad was transformed three years later into a twenty-five cent (cheap!) magazine.
Over the years one thing remained constant: Every issue had a cover. And here they are, complete with running commentary
by Mad's poet laureate, Frank Jacobs. Join idiot cover boy Alfred E. Neuman as he's depicted by the magazine's
greatest cover artists, including Norman Mingo, Kelly Freas, Richard Williams, Mort Drucker, chimpanzee J. Fred
Muggs, and Leonardo da Vinci. Including rare, never-before-seen art, photos, and sketches, Mad: Cover to Cover
is a fifty-year roundup of Mad humor from its humble inception right up to the present as it celebrates its 400th
issue as the world's foremost satire magazine. Hoohah!
