The Mad Archives #1

This hardcover collects the first six issues of the legendary satirical comic Mad, originally published by EC Comics in 1952-1953. Featuring the early work of Harvey Kurtzman, Wally Wood, and other EC greats, these issues showcase the magazine's formative blend of movie parodies, savage humor, and subversive commentary that would define its iconic run. Part of DC's Archive Editions line, this volume preserves the original color and content of the seminal pre-Mad Magazine era.
