Mad Magazine will vanish from newsstands after 67 years

[signalmankenneth]

Wow, I grew up with MAD magazine in the 50's and 60's?!! Sorry to see it go, better try to get the last issue!

CNN)Once a cultural touchstone, Mad Magazine is halting the publication of new content and vanishing from newsstands.

The seminal humor publication will no longer be available on newsstands after its August issue, according to a person familiar with the matter.

After that, issues will be available only via comic book stores and subscriptions, the source said.

The source indicated that issues after No. 10 of its current volume will reprint earlier material with new covers. However, the magazine will continue to publish its end-of-year special, books and special collections.

The revered satirical publication was founded in 1952 as a comic book. In 1955, it switched to a magazine format.

Former Mad Editor Allie Goertz, who resigned last month, lamented that there will no longer be new content after issue No. 10.

They were special. Kids just loved it. It was my first magazine subscription. National Lampoon was another. There was so much to look for. They had spy v spy in the margins.

Don Martin was - and remains- my favorite cartoonist.

That's really sad news.
