List of Mad Magazine issues 

Hi . Thanks for your recent improvement to this article. Collectonian's point is surely that keeping a list article with the combined tables of contents of all the issues is an honor that we accord to very few magazines. I personally believe that it's justified in the case of Mad, because famous publications deserve more coverage than obscure ones. Irrespective of Collectonian's particular viewpoint, a high-quality list article with lots of references is easier to defend against future requests for its deletion. I haven't studied this one enough to know how it could be improved, but I think your new intro is a step in the right direction. I hope to post again on the Talk but haven't had the time yet. 

You are one the of the people who I was hoping to get the attention of, because I think only someone familiar with the magazine would have good ideas for how to improve this article.  I read the magazine when I was a kid, but have no idea of how to explain its cultural significance. 

I notice that Mad (magazine) is also tagged for needing inline citations, and I sympathize with that tag. We need to get the help of some Mad aficionados who are willing to dig up references.
