Mad Magazine Super Special Number Twenty
This item is a 1972 edition of Mad Magazine, specifically the "Super Special Number Twenty". It is a paperback magazine with a full-color cover featuring an illustration of a grotesque, long-tongued character by Don Martin, along with the iconic Alfred E. Neuman in the upper left corner. The cover is white with red and blue text. Key text on the cover indicates "Starring Our Full-Color Fold-Out Bonus", "Help The Mentally Incompetent", "Re-Elect Your Congressman!", "Don Martin 'Give'Em Hell' Election Year Stickers", and "Pre-Glued and Perforated for Immediate Misuse and Abuse!". The price of "$1.00" and "Super-Cheap 54050" are also visible. The magazine appears to be in good condition with minimal visible wear. There may be slight edge wear and some surface grime or discoloration consistent with age and handling, but no significant tears or creases are obvious from the image. The artwork is cartoonish and characteristic of Don Martin's style and the general aesthetic of Mad Magazine during this period. The presence of the "Election Year Stickers" suggests a focus on political satire relevant to 1972.
