Mad Paperbacks Containing Reprinted Garbage from Past Issues

Shown below are the 93 Mad paperback books of reprinted material published from 1954 to 1993.
Thumbnails show multiple covers. The first five Ballantine books had four covers each. Six through 29 began with Signet and then Warner.
In most cases many cover variations came with future reprints in the form of lettering or background color changes,
and I show the most obvious occurrences on each book's page with links to more variations as I find them.
Thanks to Andrew from Australia for the printing calculations.
Each paperback's contents page has reprinted article titles linked to their regular issue sources.
Below this group you'll see the artist/writer-specific paperbacks that were happening concurrently to these 93.

Mad Paperbacks Containing Original, Non-Reprinted Artist/Writer Specific Garbage

Shown below are 129 Mad paperback books of original, non-reprinted material specific to Mad writers and artists published from 1962 to 1993.
Thumbnails show multiple covers - first Signet and then Warner, with a couple exceptions. In most cases many cover variations came with future reprints in the form of lettering or background color changes,
and I show the most obvious occurrences on each book's page with links to more variations as I find them. Thanks to Andrew from Australia for the printing calculations.
NOTE: I have not included paperbacks done by artists and writers produced outside of the MAD imprint. Don't see a MAD logo? It's not a MAD book.
This chart can be read chronologically or by the writer. The last row contains single books by authors. Hover over a thumbnail for book title and contributing artist.
