About this Collection

This collection gathers the satirical comic series Mad Power, a 1970s spin-off from the main Mad magazine line, featuring the iconic gap-toothed mascot Alfred E. Neuman in a series of irreverent and politically charged parodies. Published by New American Library, it captures the era's countercultural humor through a mix of comic strips, articles, and visual gags typical of the Mad franchise.

In "The Mad In and Out Book," Sergio Aragonés delivers a delightfully absurd parade of mishaps, from a skier’s tumble to a bobsled team’s unexpected ride—each accident more gloriously chaotic than the last. With his signature visual wit, Aragonés crafts a comedic avalanche of mayhem, all rendered in his unmistakable style, while Norman Mingo’s cover captures the madness in bold, expressive lines.

In this 1970 satire from Mad Power #Y6741, a mock correspondence course promises fame and fortune through absurdly over-the-top lessons—like "How to Be a Celebrity by Faking a Car Accident"—all delivered via mail. With deadpan delivery and sharp wit, the story skewers the self-improvement hype of the era, all typeset in a style that feels like a real ad gone wildly off the rails.

In this 1970 satire from Mad Power #Y6741, classic comic strip characters take a humorous, self-serving turn as they showcase their most unreliable friendships—each panel a gleefully exaggerated lesson in betrayal, all rendered in sharp, typeset letters. A playful twist on the idea of loyalty, it’s a must-read for fans of comic history and biting humor.
