The Mad Reader (Mad Readers)
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.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
