Lot #55 - The MAD World Of William M Gaines Hardcover Book Gaines File Copy MB $25

Here's a rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 1973 by Lyle Stuart, this is a first edition copy of The MAD World Of William M. Gaines hardcover book. Most every MAD Magazine memorabilia collector has, or should have, one of these in their collection. But, this one is noteworthy, as it is a File Copy from the collection of Bill and Annie Gaines. Gaines File Copies are famously known more for the early EC comic books. But, Bill Gaines saved copies of his other books as well, and this is one of them. I don't believe this book has ever been read, as the spine is nice and tight, and I struggled to get a picture of the images in the center of the book. There is some light surface wear to the dust jacket, as well as some light edge wear and chipping at the top of the front and back of the dust jacket. There is also a small area of paper loss on the front, at the lower right hand corner. I would guess that most of the wear to the dustjacket occurred during simple storage and handling. From the collection of Annie Gaines Ashton.

Lot #61 - MAD Magazine #521 / Game Of Thrones Issue w/ Withdrawn Fold-In RARE MB $100

Here's a super rare piece of MAD Magazine memorabilia. Published in 2013 by E.C. Publications, this is issue #521 of MAD Magazine. However, this particular issue is a rarity, as it contains a "controversial" Fold-In by Al Jaffee. The original Fold-In for this issue (as pictured) was replaced due to assumed sensitivity issues around the 2012 Aurora, Colorado theater shooting. However, some feel that it was pulled by DC to protect their brand, as the shooting occurred at a theater showing a midnight screening of the Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. Says the consignor, "Since it was subsequently printed in a 2019 issue, the initial pulling of it seems like it was more a business/timing matter, rather than anything having to do with taste or sensitivity issues on management's part." In any event, a few of the pulled issues were saved, and this is one of them. It shows light handling and storage wear, and is in Excellent display condition.

Lot #67 - Alfred E. Neuman Folk Art Doll From The MAD Magazine Offices MB $75

Here's a cool piece of MAD Magazine and Alfred E. Neuman memorabilia. Rather than trying to describe it, the following is a verbatim text message from the consignor: "...my recollection is that a West-Coast based MAD contributor was at a market or a fair, saw this item, and bought it to send to a New York MAD staffer as a gift. It was on display in MAD's offices for quite a while. It appears to be a one-of-a-kind piece of handmade, homemade MAD American folk art. I don't know if the hair is real or synthetic, and unless some or all of the clothing is commercially available doll clothing, that appears to be homemade too." Here's my take: the face is printed onto the fabric. So, there are no two-dimensional facial features (eye sockets, nose, lips, etc.). It stands approx. 8" wide by 14" high, and is very well made.
