Description

This is a vintage mass-market paperback titled 'Boiling Mad,' part of the MAD Magazine book series published by Signet. The front cover features a full-color illustration of the character Alfred E. Neuman sitting inside a large black cauldron over a burning wood fire, seasoning himself with a container labeled 'ACCENT.' The title is rendered in white and yellow block lettering against a red background. The Signet Books logo and a price of 75c (code T4843) are visible in the upper right. The back cover features a promotional blurb in red and blue text, accompanied by six black-and-white comic panels illustrating various satirical themes. The publication is attributed to the New American Library on the reverse. Physically, the item shows shelf wear, including rounded corners and some creasing. The paper shows natural yellowing due to age, and there is a noticeable area of dark staining or foxing along the bottom edge of the back cover.
