Bill Cosby

A satirical caricature of the real-life comedian and TV star, this Bill Cosby appeared in Mad magazine's trademark celebrity parody format, lampooning Cosby's public persona and pop-culture prominence during the height of his fame.

A Silver Age arrival courtesy of the legendary satirical team of Stan Hart and Mort Drucker, this Bill Cosby made his debut in the pages of Mad #111 in 1967 — right in the thick of that magazine's golden run of celebrity send-ups and pop-culture skewering. Turning up across a remarkable span of publications from 1967 to 2012, he's kept some genuinely eclectic comic book company, sharing pages with the likes of Batman, Bruce Wayne, and Alfred E. Neuman. Six appearances spread across Mad, Hawkworld, and Laugh Comics make this a curious and collectible footnote for fans who love the places where satire and superhero comics unexpectedly collide.
