Here's a cool piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1997 by Ed Norris, this lot contains items from the "NEW" MAD Panic fanzine. Back in 1997 the "new" MAD Magazine (#356) was published with much fanfare and promotion. The editor of the MAD Panic fanzine, Ed Norris, decided to join the bandwagon, and release his "new" version of his MAD Panic fanzine. Well, it was just a gag, and was just a single sheet of paper folded into eighths. When unfolded, there was a copy of a Jack Davis cover rough on one side, and an editorial by Mr. Norris on the other. The "new" fanzine was mailed with a MAD Minute cassette tape, which was generously provided by Annie Gaines. The tape contains episode numbers 35 and 54.

This bust is very similar to the version that was sold in the United States in the 1960's, and I believe that the bust is cast from the original mold of the US version (or at least a one-off). It stands approx. 5" tall, and the base is glazed a light brown rather than gray. There is no felt on the bottom, as there was never any felt to begin with. Overall, this bust is beautiful, and in Near Mint condition.

Price realized: $180


Lot #29 - MAD Magazine / Alfred E. Neuman Halloween Costume w/ Original Box 1960 MB $650

Here’s one of MAD Magazine collecting’s “Holy Grails”. Produced in 1960 by Collegeville Costumes, this is a child’s Large size Alfred E. Neuman Halloween costume. The components to the costume include a plastic Alfred E. Neuman mask, a black pseudo-tuxedo top, and a pair of generic orange pants. The mask is generally known as the easiest component to find, but to find all three pieces together is a rarity. And, the best part about this is the existence of the original storage box for the costume. The box is just a generic Collegeville costume box, but it has the “MAD - What Me Worry” stamped in the label space on the box. The box is a little mis-shapen and has a little tear in the cellophane on the lid, and the Alfred mask is a little bit squished. But, everything is there, and is waiting for you to give it a good home.

This item is the first licensed food item from MAD Magazine. Produced in 1993 by Berzerk Candy Werks (a division of Kraft Foods), this item is a full display box from the line of MAD Idiotic Fruity Candy. MAD candy was sold mainly in convenience stores back in 1993 and 1994, but it wasn't a very good seller. The cool thing about the boxes of MAD candy is that it had a special promotional mini-issue of MAD Magazine attached to the box. Featuring artwork by Dave Berg, Bob Clarke and Jack Davis (among others), this item was probably the best thing about the candy. This item is in beautiful display condition, all 24 of the boxes of candy are still factory sealed.

And, he had a box full of them. A companion money clip was also produced, but with a different image than the one shown. This item appears to be unused, and is in Excellent display condition.

Lot #174 - Artist Mark Podwal Original Drawing “For Frank Jacobs” MB $20

Here’s an obscure piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced by artist, Mark Podwal, this is a drawing that he signed to the late MAD Magazine artist, Mr. Frank Jacobs. In addition to being an artist, Mr. Podwal is also a well-known film maker and author, particularly on Jewish legend, history, and religion. I am not sure if this item is a sketch or a finished original drawing, nor do I know from which publication this is from, if any. He has created several drawings for the New York Times Op-Ed page, so perhaps this is one of those. In any event, this item measures approx. 8 ½" by 11”, and is in Excellent display condition. From the collection of Frank Jacobs.

Lot #218 - 1994 MAD Magazine Readership Survey Reply Card w/Alfred E. Neuman Pin MB $25

This is a cool piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1994 for E.C. Publications, this item is a reply card to the 1994 MAD Magazine readership survey. This survey was stapled into MAD Magazine #326, and it was up to the reader to detach it, fill it out, and send it in. The response was overwhelming, and far surpassed any expectations that the MAD Editorial Staff had. In fact, to find an issue of MAD Magazine #326 with the survey intact is quite a rarity. Also included in the Alfred E. Neuman cloisonne pin that was given to each survey respondent. It is unused, and in Mint condition. The original mailing envelope is also included.

Lot #219 - Alfred E. Neuman Original B/W Portrait MAD Magazine #27 RARE MB $600

Here’s an incredibly rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in 1956 by E.C. Publications, this is the first ever MAD Magazine mail-away premium, the b/w Alfred E. Neuman portrait. This item was only offered for sale in issue #27 of MAD Magazine, and not ever again. The advertisement for it appeared on the inside back cover of the issue, and it was offered for sale for just 15 cents. The original portrait measured 5” by 7”. But, this one has been trimmed to a size of 4 ¾" by 6 5/8”. It is printed on cardstock, and has browned a little bit over the years. The back shows a little of paper loss at the top, probably from when a piece of tape was removed from hanging. I would guess there are probably less than ten (10) of these in collections today. The opening bid reflects the scarcity of this item.

Lot #223 - Soda Net Newsletter Set Of Two (2) Different Pre-MAD Alfred E. Neuman MB $10

Here’s an obscure piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1992 and 1999 by the PSBCA (Painted Soda Bottle Collectors Association), this lot contains two (2) different issues of Soda Net. Soda Net was a monthly (or bi-monthly) newsletter put out by the PSBCA for its members. It contained articles about painted soda bottle collecting, new finds of rare and hard to find bottles, a listing of shows and events, and much more. This newsletter is of interest to MAD Magazine memorabilia collectors as it contains articles about the Happy Jack soda bottle, which has an early pre-MAD image of Alfred E. Neuman on it. The bottle itself is incredibly rare, and I count myself lucky to have actually seen and held one (probably the only one known in a MAD Magazine memorabilia collection). In any case, these issues are in Excellent display condition, with storage and handling wear.

Lot #225 - Set Of Five (5) MAD Magazine First Day Covers Ed Norris 1990’s MB $25

Here’s a unique collection of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in the 1990’s by Ed Norris and the US Postal Service, this is a collection of five (5) different MAD Magazine First Day Cover postal cachets. A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope or card bearing a stamp which is cancelled on the day the stamp is initially placed on sale by the postal authorities. A cachet is an envelope with printed art that tells something about the stamp. In this case, Mr. Norris used a piece of MAD art for each of the five different stamps that were released: a series of multi-colored Alfred E. Neuman portraits for the Andy Warhol stamp, a chained and padlocked trunk for the Houdini stamp, etc. All five cachet envelopes are individually sealed with a cardboard backer board, and are unused and in Mint condition.

Lot #227 - MAD Magazine / Sergio Aragones “Books On Tape” RARE MB $30

Here’s a super rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Produced in the 1990’s by Flabby Roads Studio and Nick Meglin, this is a set of two (2) different MAD Magazine “Books On Tape”. These cassette tapes were the brainchild of the longtime MAD Magazine editor, Mr. Nick Meglin, but they were never sold or marketed. They are parodies of “books on tape” cassettes that were hugely popular at the time, and my take is that they were gag gifts to the MAD staffers. These tapes are blank, because as any fan of Sergio Aragones knows, there is no printed text in any of his MAD books, which means that there are no words to read. That’s the joke. These tapes appear to be unused, and are in Excellent display condition.

This lot contains a poster, a pinback button, a door sign, a day-glo bumper sticker, and a painters hat. The painters hat is the key piece to this collection, as it is almost never seen. All of the pieces are very displayable, although the hat shows some light staining on the front and brim. But, that shouldn’t even be an issue, because it’s THE HAT!!! The opening bid reflects the completeness of this collection, but more importantly, the existence of THE HAT!!! The original envelope is not included.
