Mad Magazine's Sunday Comic Section

Mad Magazine's Sunday Comic Section (1961, EC) is a single-issue experiment that reimagines Mad's signature satire in the format of a full-color Sunday newspaper comic supplement. Published by EC Comics at the height of the magazine's early popularity, it collects parodies of classic strips like "Li'l Abner" and "Peanuts" alongside original gags, all rendered in the oversized, tabloid-style pages that defined the era's funnies. Though a one-off, this issue captures Mad's fearless, irreverent voice in a unique visual package that stands as a curious footnote in the magazine's legendary run.
