Beautiful high-grade copy with vibrant colors, glossy covers, sharp presentation, and outstanding eye appeal. Minimal wear consistent with grade. Please review all photos carefully before purchasing.
This special Millennium Edition faithfully reprints the legendary 1952 EC Comics classic Tales Calculated to Drive You Mad #1—the groundbreaking humor comic that soon evolved into the world-famous MAD Magazine.
Even more desirable, this is the rare recalled edition, withdrawn because the interior back cover accidentally omitted copyright credits for William M. Gaines and Harvey Kurtzman, making surviving recalled copies especially sought after by collectors.
Bright, nostalgic, and unmistakably EC Comics.
The bold yellow MAD logo immediately grabs attention against the cool blue background, while the classic cartoon artwork captures the offbeat humor that made EC Comics legendary. The Millennium Edition presentation faithfully preserves the charm of the original 1952 cover while celebrating one of the most influential humor comics ever published.
Published in 2000, this Millennium Edition honors the comic that inspired MAD Magazine, one of the most influential humor publications in pop culture history. The recalled printing makes this edition especially appealing to EC Comics, MAD, and comic history collectors.
