The Medicine MAD
From collection MAD Magazine Paperback Collection by Peter H.
The Medicine MAD
This object is a vintage mass-market paperback book titled 'The Medicine MAD,' which serves as the 44th entry in a series of MAD Magazine collections. The front cover is dominated by a central illustration of the mascot Alfred E. Neuman, portrayed as a tribal medicine man. The character is depicted with a wood-grain textured mask that captures his iconic features, such as the missing front tooth and wide-eyed expression. He is shown in a dynamic, crouched pose, holding a red staff with a skull and tassels in one hand and a yellow rattle in the other. He is adorned with a yellow grass skirt, green beaded necklace, and gold-colored bands on his limbs. The title 'THE MEDICINE' is printed in a bold blue font above the word 'MAD,' which is rendered in large, red, outlined letters. At the top of the cover, the Warner Books logo is visible alongside the original retail price of $1.50 and the catalog number 88-763. The book exhibits minor signs of age, including slight yellowing of the paper and very light wear at the corners, but remains in overall very good condition.
