About this Collection

This collection gathers classic satirical pieces from Mad magazine, featuring the iconic gap-toothed mascot Alfred E. Neuman in a series of irreverent takes on urban life and modern society. Originally published in 1983 by Warner Books, it compiles some of the magazine's most memorable parodies and cartoons from the era.

In "Gall of the President's Men," two bumbling but determined reporters dive into a tangled web of political intrigue, chasing whispers that lead straight to the highest levels of power. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, satirical flair by artist Mort Drucker—whose dynamic interiors are inked with precision—this 1983 satire skewers the world of investigative journalism with a wink. The cover, by Jack Rickard, captures the absurdity perfectly, a visual punchline that sets the tone for a story where truth is as slippery as a politician’s promise.
