About this Collection

This hardcover collection brings together a generous selection of Don Martin's most iconic and absurdly hilarious cartoons from his three-decade run in MAD Magazine, spanning the 1950s through the 1970s. Featuring his signature rubber-limbed characters, nonsensical sound effects, and offbeat humor, the volume showcases the work of one of MAD's most beloved and distinctive artists. It's a comprehensive tribute to the cartoonist often called 'MAD's Maddest Artist,' drawn from the magazine's golden age of satire.

A hilarious send-up of "Gentle Ben" sees a park ranger and his perpetually exasperated family trying to coexist with a bear who’s far more polite—and far less prone to chaos—than they are. Written by Dick DeBartolo and drawn with manic energy by Don Martin, this classic satire features Martin’s signature visual gags and absurd situations, all rendered in his unmistakable inks. The cover, also by Don Martin, captures the cartoon’s chaotic charm in full.
