Mad Annual Covers

1958 to 1969


More Trash From Mad and The Worst From Mad came on the scene in 1958 with Mad Follies joining them in 1963.
With the exception of bonus inserts and most covers, articles were reprints from earlier issues.
Each Annual's contents page has reprinted article titles linked to their regular issue sources.
Where new stuff exclusive to the Annuals happens, I note the contribution title in red.

Mad Special and Super Special Covers

Fall 1970 to November 1999


Like the earlier annuals, Mad Specials were reprints of past articles, but with new articles thrown in at times.
Each Special's contents page has reprinted article titles linked to their regular issue sources.
Where new stuff exclusive to the Specials happens, I note the contribution title in red.
The UGOI (Usual Gang Of Idiots: contributing artists, writers, etc.) responsible for non-reprinted,
original material has been added to each idiot's respective list.

Mad Special Collector's Edition 'Bookazine'

2012 to 2019 (and beyond -- reprinted!)


These 'bookazines' are perfect-bound collections of essentially reprint material.
Some of them are abridgments of hardcover books, others themed reprints from the magazine.
Big, beautiful, glossy, substantial things... recycled Mad garbage never smelled so good!

This series appears to have stalled at 21 issues, with reprints of these issues popping up now and then.

Treasure Trove of Trash

Barnes & Noble // Yawns & Babble Editions

2022 to the current day


Partnering with Barnes & Noble, MAD made sure selected articles from their current regular reprint issues,
which had been available by subscription or in comic books stores, found a few more eyeballs at the
B&N counter in these delightful repackages of repackages. At least collectors (usually) got a new cover!
