List of Mad issues
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.
==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.〔Cochran, Russ. ''Mad'', volumes one, two, three and four. West Plains, Missouri: Russ Cochran, Publisher, 1986.〕 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''.〔("Harvey Kurtzman Is Dead at 68; Cartoonist Was Creator of Mad," ''The New York Times'', February 23, 1993. )〕
Only three years after it began, ''Mad'' was catalogued in Harvard's Houghton Library.〔〔"A Science Fiction Collection for Harvard." ''Harvard Library Bulletin'', Vol. IX, No. 3, 1955.〕
