Before the existence of pop-culture sharpshooter MAD Magazine there was the original MAD — as in, Tales Calculated to Drive You MAD! Twenty-three comic book issues that threw the rule-book out the window and redefined comedy and satire for generations to come. It's visionary humor in a jugular vein, presented in a handsome hardcover format. MAD defined satire for an entire generation of readers. Here is where it all began.
Includes the classic stories Melvin of the Apes!, Mole!, Dragged Net, Superduperman!, Shadow! and Ping Pong!
