List of Mad Magazine issues

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The humor magazine Mad has had a consecutive run for well over half a century, making a transition over the years from color comic book to black-and-white magazine to color magazine, presenting a constant parade of parodies. Reprints leave many readers puzzling over the sources of material published before they were born.

[edit] Cultural impact

When Harvey Kurtzman began editing Mad in 1952, his intention was simply to satirize comic book genres. He had no idea that his comic book was destined to become a publishing phenomenon that would reach a circulation of 2,132,655 by 1974, be reprinted in slick, full-color hardcover slipcased editions and transform the culture of the 20th Century. [1] The cultural significance of Kurtzman and his creation were noted by the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman:

Kurtzman's Mad held a mirror up to American society, exposing the hypocrisies and distortions of mass media with jazzy grace and elegance. He's our first post-modern humorist, laying the groundwork for such contemporary humor and satire as Saturday Night Live, Monty Python and Naked Gun. [2]

Only three years after it began, Mad was cataloged in Harvard's Houghton Library.[1][3]

[edit] Evolution and expansion

Kurtzman's expansion to parodies of radio, films and television was a step-by-step evolution, and not all readers were familiar with all the satirical sources and references, including some drawn from contemporary and classical literature. [1] Readers could have enjoyed the first issue of Mad without being aware that it featured a lampoon of an E. M. Forster short story, and a reference to the sound effects in James Thurber's short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

[edit] Forgotten and obscure sources

A baseball story in the second issue is a twist on Stephen Vincent Benét's "The Devil and Daniel Webster." In the fifth issue, the Renfrew of the Royal Mounted source could remain just as obscure for many readers today as it was in 1953. [1] There are subtle distinctions not readily apparent in reading the material. For instance, "Dragged Net" in the third issue is a satire of the Dragnet radio show, but "Dragged Net" in issue 11 satirized the Dragnet television series. [4]

Such sources are illuminated in the following sequential listing of all Mad issues. [5][6] It also includes the debuts of notable contributors. [7] As with all parodies, a knowledge of the subjects being satirized in necessary for a full understanding of the humor. However, the early "Mad" poetry satires were an exception to this rule, since they used precise original wording of famed classic poems in a comic book format but added exaggerated, extreme cartoon illustrations. [1]

Such references, numbering in the tens of thousands, become more obscure as the decades pass, making annotations of the main sources a necessity. A scholarly and academic approach would be akin to a study of the literary references punctuating T. S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
