Mad #26

Seventy years of satire calls for a proper celebration, and this 2022 milestone issue of MAD wears its anniversary proudly — Alfred E. Neuman takes center stage in a bold red commemorative medallion, arms spread wide and grinning with his trademark gap-toothed shrug, asking "What — Me 70?" A mosaic of classic MAD covers stretches across the background, a vivid reminder of just how much irreverence this magazine has packed into its run from 1952 to 2022. Mark Fredrickson's cover art captures the spirit perfectly, and inside, Frank Jacobs, George Mandel, and Joe Orlando keep the laughs coming with "Dog Gone Dollars" and more.
