I recently found my MAD mags from my childhood in the 70's which were sitting in a box, untouched for about 30 years. It got me interested in collecting MAD and I've really enjoyed it. What's great about collecting them is that they can still be found out there in the wild pretty easily. I only buy on eBay once in a while. It's more fun finding them at garage sales etc. --- You have a nice collection!
@@sinistermoon I was fortunate in my life.. I first discovered MAD when I was 8 in the spring of 1964 ..my first issue which I purchased off the newsstand was issue 87.. the spring issue which shows Neuman ..head first upside down breaking thru a trampoline.. something about that goofy cover caught my eye...I think my mother enjoyed it more than I did because she was old enough to understand the humor more....after that over the years occasionally a MAD would turn up at a friends house and we'd thumb thru it.. but I did Not start taking MAD seriously.. until I read a news article about the death of William Gaines.. around November or October of 1992... I then realized these might start becoming collectible... I had about 20 MAD magazines at the time.. and about 200 of the paperbacks.. which I had been buying non stop over the years... within a 2 year period... I was able to get every Magazine from like issue..30- 330...and the rest I filled in eventually over the years. and .started subscribing to MAD so I would never miss an issue... I bought the harder to find issues off of E-bay.. and so Now I have the entire run.... issues 1-550..as well as all 38 issues of the new MAD.. and a couple of the Junior MAD's..... I AM missing a few of the giant size and the supers and More Trashes.. I never went back for those but I am happy that I have completed the regular MAD's as well as all 12 Panic issues..
I loved MAD when ever I can read one. Spy vs. Spy was always my favorite part in the magazine. It is a shame that it will be discontinued. The collector market is very cutthroat. It's ridiculous...
I'm searching for an edition from I think the 80's or early 90's regarding a smoke alarm comic. The scene was in an office, where a Maintenance Man was installing a huge smoke alarm above a Manager's desk. When they tested the alarm, it opened up & yelled "FIRE!!" w/a long lightning shaped tongue. The Manager flew out the window & Maintenance Man fell off the ladder. It obviously killed them both. The next scene depicted the Detectives were trying to figure out what happened? The Secretary that had been in the outer office, said the 'accident' happened after the Manager fired the Maintenance Man. I laughed so hard, my sides ached. Over the years, I lost track of my magazine. I'm trying to obtain a copy now. I thought maybe you might know exactly what edition it's in?
@rossmartenak5517 I wish I could help... but without knowing the title of that spoof. .on fire alarms... one would have to go thru about 20 years worth of issues.. in order to find the article.. If you perhaps knew the exact Year.... I could look thru some issues.. but a 20 year gap would take too long....or perhaps even if you remember what the header of the article was?.
i start my collection at 1958 thru 1979,i guess you can calculate my age, thanks for sharing, i'm the same way you are, i started losing interest when the tv shows and movies started becoming lame. and for some reason politics back then where funny to read about, now everything is so serious and oversaturated! yeelch!!!!!

The “MADDE” was an insert to Super Special No. 19 from 1976. It pretended to be a Mad from the 1600s. Extremely funny!
Madde is from the bicentennial super special issue from 1976. The revolting issue.
Thanks!

Love the intro!😬
Did MD Magazine ever create an edition with the original "Highlander" movie? Thank you 🤓
I’m honestly not sure, but I want it if they did! There can be only one!
@@sinistermoon Mad may have done one on the TV series or other movies! Thank you 🤓
Las vendes ?
Dude, I work for one of The largest non-sports card sellers in the country.
They are cancelling mad???
Sadly, yes. The issues I get in the mail now are made up entirely of old content. I won't be renewing the subscription.
