MadCoverSite.com, since August 16, 1997 --- over 20 years! - (big deal), A resource for collectors and fans of the world's most important (ecch!) humor publication:
--- Mad Magazine --- Celebrating its 66th year in 2018.
Within MAD's 2013 book Inside Mad you'll find Sergio Aragonés' amazing poster showing six decades of Madness in the New York Mad offices. To help you identify every person and thing he's drawn, I put together an interactive viewer with labels!
Mad Specials and Annuals!
Here are links to all 141 Mad Specials and all 31 annuals (More Trash, The Worst and Follies). Mad Specials and annuals were reprints of past articles, sometimes with new stuff thrown in. Each magazine's contents page has reprinted article titles linked to their regular issue sources. Where new stuff exclusive to the magazines happen, I note the article title in red. The UGOI (Usual Gang Of Idiots: contributing artists, writers, etc.) responsible for non-reprinted, original material has been added to each idiot's respective list!
Paperbacks! Paperbacks!
MAD produced 222 paperback books between 1954 and 1993. This link takes you to the reprint books and the writer/artist specific books, complete with content listings.
Hey, Doug!
Thanks again for remaining such a staunch fan of the magazine. I can't tell you how much we here at the magazine rely on your site. By the way, extra kudos to you for updating your site with more extensive contents and back cover scans. I sometimes wonder when you find the time!
Your buddy, Sam
Added a bunch more Bradford Smith signatures to his collection featuring 424 signatures on 195 MADs!
