This collection originates from the Al Jaffee Studio archive, acquired through Doyle Auctioneers, accompanied by the original auction invoice and related correspondence, consistent with other Al Jaffee Studio material offered in this collection. Provenance documentation is retained by the seller.
Offered here is a substantial run of the modern MAD Magazine relaunch, comprising nine issues published between June 2018 and December 2019.
This lot includes the first issue (#1) of the acclaimed reboot along with issues #2–4 and #6–10, documenting nearly the entire first phase of the modern MAD revival before the magazine transitioned primarily to reprinted material.
Please note: Issue #5 is not included.

An outstanding opportunity to acquire nearly the entire original-content relaunch in one purchase, complete with documented Al Jaffee Studio provenance.
Most issues appear to be Near Mint, with light handling or minor shelf wear consistent with careful storage. Bright colors, clean interiors, and attractive overall presentation.
I am not a professional comic or magazine grader, so please examine the photographs carefully and judge condition for yourself.
