Mad in Orbit

From 1966, Mad in Orbit was a short-lived, three-issue series from New American Library that collected classic satirical material from Mad magazine, repackaging its irreverent humor for a new audience. Featuring the signature work of Mad’s legendary contributors, this series brought the magazine’s biting parodies and cartoon commentary to a digest-sized format, capturing the counterculture spirit of the era. Though brief, it stands as a curious artifact of Mad’s mid-60s expansion, offering a compact dose of the publication’s enduring wit.
