Description
Okay,first of all,there was a MAD Special #25...it just didn't look like this...I just chose the number at random.This is a non-existent mock-up of one of those from the 1970s,where they included a reproduction of one of their issues from the mid-1950s,when they started out as a comic book.
Even in their early days,they were parodying popular movies,comic-book superheroes (I know,I know...using the Justice Society here is a bit of a stretch) and newspaper comic strips,so I wanted this cover to reflect that.
Oh,I almost forgot...the smaller image at the top right was taken from this ,which can be seen in my gallery.

(1) Thanks for the ! (B) I know,I found out two days ago....truth be told,I'm not gonna miss it. I came of age when the original Usual Gang Of Idiots had succeeded in making MAD what it eventually became;those guys are all long dead or retired,and I never warmed up to their replacements.
At least it stamped an indelible mark on popular culture,and will live on through reprints and collected editions. Those of us who were fans of CRACKED aren't so lucky....goddamn anthrax scare.
