Mad #538 'variant' cover Not so much a true cover variant as much as an extra cover that just happens to be blank,
some issues of #538 were available with this curious addition to Mad history.
This outer cover had no interior printing or artwork, but the back cover featured the same
Al Jaffee redesigning of the U.S. map.
