Mad, of course, was that awesome satire magazine you read as a kid. This very first issue is more like a comic book, but you can see the foundations being laid.

That's a real drag .... they seem to think that we in UK don't deserve it !

I still remember as if yesterday us anti-establishment neer do wells huddling in the playground to share copies of this wonderous mag.

Would love to get hold of this, perhaps they'll let it cross the pond ?

But, naturally, I must always remember ......

"Wot, me worry ?"

Loved Mad! It was so subversive!

I remember the folding cover on the back that showed one image when unfolded and another when folded.

Not to mention politically incorrect...They made fun of everything, including themselves.

Oooo... so do I, now that you mention it

Totally obnoxious...You aren't allowed to download it to Kindle for PC (if it's not Windows 8).

Can't download it to PC from B&N either.
So much for me buying the rest of them....

Yea I noticed that.....but if you have a phone app (android at least) I have in the past been able to move the file.from my n4a app to my pc app. I found it as a workaround for a problem I was having with my nook magazines. Haven't tried it yet for this cause I've been ill but will probably work

How about "read your kindle books in a cloud" -- can you do that from a PC?

Way cool to see their very first issue! (Haven't looked at it yet though.)

The first 25 or so were this comic book format until the Comics Code kicked in and they were required to go to the black and white magazine format everyone is used to today. This way they could continue to print the "non politically correct" humor and it not fall under the comic book censorship.
