It's Rare, But It Was Well Done. MAD's Final All New Issue. (#10, Dec. 2019)
It's here! MAD 10! A Definite Collector's Item!
But 1st, a bit of MAD history: MAD began in 1952 with MAD #1, their October–November issue. Sadly MAD ended all-new material issues with this #10 November-December 2019 issue. That's 67 years of publishing, the majority of those years without advertising. 550 issues were done by the NY staff, 10 by the LA staff. (In December 2017 MAD moved to Burbank, and the new LA staff started their numbering issues with #1 again.) Also with this issue #10, MAD is no longer available at newsstands, bookstores, etc. It is only available via subscription or at a comic book store. And available right here too. I bought 24 copies online figuring it would be hard to find once people realized MAD wasn't on newsstands anymore and this would be the final issue will all-new material. So this issue is semi-rare and I'm selling them here to raise money for www.actorsfund.org. I did a web search to come up with a price and I found three places selling it. Prices were $24.99, $29.99 and $59.99. Since 100% of the price for the magazine goes to charity, The Actors Fund, I took the middle amount, $29.99. I'll autograph to you, or whomever you want. It's mailed in a heavy duty white cardboard envelope with USPS tracking. That's $4.99. And PayPal will automatically add sales taxes in some places.
