SUNDAY FUNNIES!! MAD Moves Up the Ladder

Yep, this is the beginning of MAD MAGAZINE #24, the first issue of MAD Magazine.  The first 23 issues were comicbooks.  But, with the new Comicbok Code they felt they would have more freedom as a magazine.

The main story is illustrated by Wallace Wood.  Other phony ads, are by Will Elder and Jack Davis.   And of course, it was all written by editor Harvey, Kurtzman, as it has been, so far.

And, as usual, click on images to make them larger and readable.
