<B>Mad #1 Gaines File pedigree (EC, 1952) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages.</B></I> Only the first 23 issues were comic book sized, but the magazine version has now endured for over 54 years and is still going strong, nearly 500 issues later. It's considered the first satire comic, and the creation that its father -- the versatile, prolific genius Harvey Kurtzman -- will always be associated with. Kurtzman edited, scripted, drew the cover, and provided interior story art for the first issue. Other EC greats Wally Wood, Jack Davis, John Severin, and Bill Elder also contributed interior art. This copy is far nicer than any you would have plucked right off the rack in 1952, selected right off the press and lovingly preserved by EC Managing Editor William C. Gaines. A historic comic book in pristine condition! CGC has certified this as a Gaines File Copy, but no certificate accompanies the lot. Overstreet 2007 NM- 9.2 value = $7,000. CGC census 6/07: 6 in 9.8, none higher.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
