Mad about Comic Strips with Other

Rating:
Summary: A fine selection from the 'usual gang'.
Review:
I found this a wonderful selection of reprints from the magazine over the years and what really made it for me were the drawing styles, exactly like the newspaper originals, for instance there are several parodies of Johnny Hart's BC and they look so right. Eight strips from the first twenty-three issues of Mad are included but unfortunately not the famous Comic Book Sounds Effects (issue twenty, 1955) drawn by Wally Wood but what is included is a life-size reprint of a newspaper comic section, the 1959 'Sunday Comic Section we'd like to see', which includes a brilliant satire of Ripley's Believe It or Not!

If you read the newspaper strips over the years you'll really enjoy this parody paperback, which is a neat production job, too.

Review: It's really great to have the Mad comic pages all in one place. I like the way Mad takes a theme and creates a book out of it. Plus it lists the issue the article first appeared in!!!!! Keep 'em coming!!!!
