"Mad magazine has stood alone as one of the only comics invented to make the crossover to magazines and survive. In it's relatively short life it has also spawned many international editions as well as a TV show and series of paperback spinoffs. The cheeky mix of comic book art and sartorial humour has led to the inception of some awesome and risky cover ideas. If not always as funny as they should be, they're still worth a look."
