I run a site for collectors and fans of the world's most important (ecch!) humor publication - Mad Magazine! . . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't know why either... MadCoverSite.com
As I prepare the update for comic #4 tomorrow, I'd been wondering how Superduperman! would stack up in the reprint world. Its very respectable 15 appearances gets edged out by 16 from Park-David Great Moments in Medicine, A MAD Look at Batman, and Star Blecch. www.madcoversite.com/mad004.html
just in time for Halloween it's #601 (thanks Mark Arnold for finding the image somewhere)

More site update shenanigans! Click through and play with things (especially the new search box). How many movie satires did Frank Jacobs write? Were there really 8 Star Trek movie satires?... and so on. Report any hiccups, please. www.madcoversite.com/subjects.html
I'm not one to usually announce death anniversaries, but this one came up and warranted a mention. We lost the amazing Paul Coker four years ago.
The 50th Anniversary Issue of MAD Magazine #423 — November 2002 is a good one to seek out for the cool Patrick Merrell cover collage and the fold out poster showing prominent Idiots to that point. www.madcoversite.com/mad423.html

If you've been following along with my site redesign you know I've been sticking to mainly regular issue pages. I decided to take a detour into the features section and I'm excited to share a new search box. Play around with it and let me know what you think. www.madcoversite.com/features-cat...
