From Library Of America, September 3, 2024, The Mad Files, with contributions from, among others, Art Spiegelman, and Roz Chast (who I strongly suspect did the cover. Can’t find a signature). From the publisher:
Edited by David Mikics, The MAD Files celebrates the magazine’s impact and the legacy of the Usual Gang of Idiots who transformed puerile punchlines and merciless mockery into an art form. 26 essays and comics present a varied, perceptive, and often very funny account of MAD’s significance, ranging from the cultural to the aesthetic to the personal.
MAD magazine had a greater influence on my social and intellectual development (and sense of humor) than anything else in this crazy world. The mid-60s through the 70’s were a golden age for the magazine.
