MAD Magazine (2009)

"Don't blow your whole wad on Coachella tickets this year-Mad #13 is making (fun of) music for $5.99 (cheap)! Laugh at acts you'd never pay to see from the comfort of your own toilet (no porta potties necessary)! Sure, we may not have the sad crooning of Thom Yorke, but we could have a hilarious cartoon of him! Enjoy classic Mad music spoofs, plus an all-new Spy vs. Spy, 'A Mad Look at ', and more!"

"It's the wacky for Jaffee issue! We're folding with one hand and saluting with the other as we celebrate the witty work of Al Jaffee, creator of the Mad Fold-In! In addition to his 'crease-able' features, the issue includes rare Jaffee gems like revamped inventions, 'Tall Tales,' and 'Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions,' plus an all-new 'Mad Look at ' by Sergio Aragonés, 'Spy vs. Spy,' and a special never-before-seen piece by Al himself!"

"Need to save your summer from ruin by a villainous virus? MAD's superhero-themed issue to the rescue! We lampoon your favorite caped characters in all-new features, including favorites like, 'Snappy Answers to Superhero Questions,' 'Spy vs. Spy,' and Sergio Aragonés' 'Shadow Knows.' And we're reprinting beloved MAD classics like 'Bat Boy and Rubin' from way back in 1953! It's an issue that's sure to leave you shouting, 'Holy blecch, Batman!'"

"It’s a film parody triple feature to die for, with “Rosemia’s Boo-Boo,” “Paltry Guise,” and “Psycho, Too”! Plus, Sergio Aragonés and Tom Bunk have been working in the lab late at night to bring us all-new eerie MAD monster sights. And a delightfully frightening new Fold-In and “Spy vs. Spy” make this issue one to scream about!"

"It’s a MAD Look at…Sergio Aragonés!<p>In this issue, we dive into decades of “Drawn Out Dramas” from one of MAD’s MADdest artists, Sergio Aragonés—whose contributions have been much more than marginal! Favorites from his 58-year career, including “The Shadow Knows,” will be featured alongside all-new pieces from the man himself, including “A MAD Look at…MAD Magazine”! Plus, a Fold-In tribute to MAD’s most interesting original idiot by artist Johnny Sampson."

"The secret’s out—and so are the agents! Mad #18 is our all-espionage issue, featuring Peter Kuper’s final installment of Spy vs. Spy! Celebrating the 60-year-saga of Antonio Prohías’ sneaky secret agents, we revisit the work of the artists and writers who contributed to this iconic cartoon, including Duck Edwing, Bob Clarke, and Dave Manak. Plus, we’re “Wishin’ for the Impossible,” watching “James Bomb,” play one awful game of “Charades,” and, as usual, try to “Forget Smart.”"

"This issue, it’s Gagzilla vs. King Kong Ball! Filled with more gags than you can shake a Fay Wray at, MAD #20 is a monstrous smack down salute to Godzilla and King Kong! We searched the deep jungles of the archives for issues that time forgot and captured some wily witticisms from the Usual Gang of Idiots. Witness the beastly works of Mort Drucker, Dick DeBartolo, Sergio Aragonés, Angelo Torres, “Duck” Edwing, and many more. Parodies include “King Korn,” “Gotsilly,” and “Son of Mighty Joe Kong.” And a new Fold-In that eats itself by writer/artist Johnny Sampson."

Don’t throw in the towel…we’re bringing you our A game! (as in ALFRED E. NEUMAN!) For MAD #21, the Usual Gang of Idiots overcame a ton of adversity and charged through the archive to round up so many athletic-supportive MAD classics it could fill Fenway Park! Score big with hit parodies like the Karocky Kid, All the Right Movements, and Raving Bully. Sergio Aragonés takes a MAD Look at Baseball AND Basketball. Dave Berg hits a home run with the best of?the Lighter Side of Sports. Even team Black Spy and Team White Spy get into the game! And finally, slide into first with a winning new Fold-In?by writer/artist Johnny Sampson. It’s time to take one for the team…heck, why just one? Take fifteen copies, so they don’t have to share!

We sold our souls to dig deep into the far corners of the purgatory pit of the MAD archives to summon up the most devilishly good dissertations for MAD #22. Sacrifice your funny bone with classic parodies like "The Ecchorcist," "The Omenous," and "The Calamityville Horror." Sergio Aragones takes "A MAD Look at "Nightmare on Elm Street." And say "close sesame" on a freaky new Fold-In by writer/artist Johnny Sampson.
