Mad #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Awaysis Takes You Away from the Everyday!", EC’s Mad #48 (1959) dives into the zany world of reader letters with a playful twist: editor Al Feldstein takes a real suggestion from reader Barbara Forrester and officially names Alfred’s girlfriend Moxie Cowznofsky—because why not? Packed with witty correspondence from fans like Merwyn Nelson, Josh Zerlin, and Ken Luciani, the issue captures the spirit of the era with sharp humor and a touch of absurdity. The cover, a vibrant, surreal vision by Kelly Freas, perfectly encapsulates the comic’s offbeat charm.
