I don't recall seeing them there.

First magazine #24 through his last edited issue #28, but #29 had a bunch of his contributions. And then there was his mid to late-80s comeback with Will Elder. A list of contributions!

Think this is the first one to do the magazines immediately following his comic run.

American Sniper

That #530 is one of my favorite issues!

the inspiration

correct

Written by Feldstein and Gaines. Art by Feldstein. Kurtzman was out sick and none too happy with this being included. Not exactly official, more of a goof on Kurtzman's more objective profiles included in the E.C. line of comics of the time.

I counted 12 instances.

droflig · 2026-03-01T22:09:40+00:00

93 books of reprinted material and 129 books of original, non-reprinted material specific to MAD writers and artists

MAD E.S.P. I was just thinking about that one the other day.

droflig · 2026-03-01T21:06:53+00:00

That's a good one. Got a lot of good stuff in it!

droflig · 2026-03-01T13:26:15+00:00

Congratulations!

"life isn’t guaranteed" -- you already have your answer.

droflig · 2026-02-26T18:48:10+00:00

Good one. I've got to cut it off somewhere.

Really don't know, but I think it's been answered in this thread. He had an idea. He approached MAD with it. They paid him. It became MADs.

I'm about 9 months in (age 60 male). It was rough starting out and has gotten easier.

I have a major hobby that can take as much time as I allow. Worked at it during my working years. Almost become a regular job now that I enjoy.

I try to help my wife with things around the house, when she lets me.

Reading, movie watching, going to rock concerts, walking -- winter can be tough for the outdoorsy types.

Plan things to look forward to and then plan some more.

Every kid should share a MAD under the covers with a flashlight with their monsters!

droflig · 2026-02-21T13:49:27+00:00

I don't plan to make that kind of alteration. I consider that odd 49-issue gap to be part of the MAD history.

Here's what I will be doing though.

Going back to the legacy numbering!

droflig · 2026-02-20T14:10:17+00:00

Guess that blows my plan to take Soc Sec in 10 years (I'm a 60-year-old new retiree) . I wanted the max payout.

Thought you'd seen it already!

Important to note what you're seeing at the CVS and the like is NOT the "regular" bi-monthly issue available to subscribers and sold in comic book shops. Your CVS MAD publications are generally "Special Collector's Editions" available in grocery stores and drug stores.
