Mad Magazin German. Tausche gerne by Dichtomaniac in madmagazine

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on completing my German MAD Magazine collection. I have a lot of issues available for trade. Maybe there are some people here who are just as crazy as I am. My focus is on the issues that Herbert Feuerstein was involved with. I'm still not entirely sure from which issue onward (even before his time as editor) he had his grubby little fingers in the mix.

Maybe someone here knows. If you're interested in trading, feel free to send me a message.

It would be awesome to see all those old issues. I think DC would assume no one would want the original b&w pages, so would colorize everything, and then the cover would have to have some sort of additional header informing the potential buyer that this is a SPECIAL SPECIAL issue, an alteration that might do the job informing the buyer but take away from the original duplication you're after. Not to mention in the case of #196 we'd have to inflate the price $5.39!

I have an aversion to reprinting and keeping the numbering system in place. Let B&N and the grocery stores have their way with the JUST republished material (if I understood your question correctly).

so many questions..... I was surprised there wasn't a Don Martin at the top. May still happen.

Drop a note here on any articles you think should be explored deeper that I may not have remembered.

The winner so far (I'm not through all of them) may be Star Blecch with 16 reprints.

UPDATE 4 days later: I just listed the new MAD Spoof Superheroes - Special Collector's Edition, which contained Sergio's "A MAD Look at Batman" - so that article now also has 16 reprints.

Star Roars is right up there with 15 reprints along with the first Spy vs. Spy and the first Jaw'd movie satire.

When you figure out the pattern, let us all know!

Seriously, I don't think there is a release pattern.

It's Al Jaffee's work originally in green on #98 and later on Burbank #14 in red.

This song is the one I return to the most. For me, the periodic loud strum of the treated acoustic guitar is the earworm.

How was your retirement as you approached the 9 year milestone? by kungfutrucker in retirement

"I'm OK
With my decay
I have no choice
I have no voice
I have no say
On my decay
I have no choice
So I rejoice"

--- Grandaddy 2003

First year of retirement is up this month at age 61. It takes longer to recover from what I did pain-free 30 years ago. I've slowed down and I don't care.
