MAD was founded by HARVEY KURTZMAN and WILLIAM
GAINES in 1952 under the EC COMICS imprint. The former was
editor, the latter publisher, and as told in part one, the first 23 issues
were comicbook format, before switching to a magazine style with #24.
Although the changeover meant that Mad wasn't subject to the recently
formed COMICS CODE AUTHORITY, the primary reason was in or-
der to retain the services of Kurtzman as editor (who'd written most of
the first ish, as well as drawing some of the strips). He only stayed
on for another year, paving the way for AL FELDSTEIN, who
took the mag to even greater heights of glory.
Right, that's the historical aspect out of the way, time for the good
stuff. Namely, another half dozen covers of manic Madness!
