A Folded Special Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 55 1/2" [51 x 141 cm]) (Learn More) Mad, the classic humor magazine ("Humor in a jugular vein") from the 1950s to the present. It was originally a comic book published by Bill Gaines, but edited by Harvey Kurtzman, and it was one of the famous EC Comics (E.C. Comics) that were banned in the mid-1950s, due to excessive horror content. At that point, publisher Gaines turned it into a magazine with its 24th issue, and he and Kurtzman soon had a falling out, and Al Feldstein, who had been Gaines' writing partner on the Mad comic books, took over, and the magazine became one of the great success stories of the 1950s and 1960s (led by its trademark character, Alfred E. Neuman, a goofy looking guy whose slogan was "What, me worry?"), with a circulation in the millions at its peak. He never allowed any advertising of any kind in the magazine! In recent years, there was a "Mad" TV show which perfectly captures the spirit of the magazine! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster came as a free bonus in "The Eighth Annual Edition of More Trash From Mad" magazine. Also, note that this special poster was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: fair to good. Learn More about condition grades
