Mad #22 (EC, 1955) CGC NM- 9.2 Off-white pages. The original Mad comic book, under editor Harvey Kurtzman, did some wild and wacky things in its short, 23-issue run (before it converted to a magazine with issue 24.) This was by far the wackiest idea yet -- an all Bill (or Will, as he later liked to be called) Elder issue. Elder's art, crammed with incredible sight gags, was like no other. And the idea of a joke-filled "life story" about Bill probably seemed pretty funny to Harvey; however, there must of been some puzzled kids wondering what they had just spent ten cents on back in 1955! This copy is very pretty, though. Overstreet 2003 NM 9.4 value = $525. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
