SUNDAY FUNNIES!! MAD Comicbook's #10

 Cover by editor Harvey Kurtzman, PANIC ad inside page Jack Davis,  Story by Harvey Kurtzman, Artt by Will Elder

What you do not see:  The original Wonder Woman character was created by college  professor William Moulton Marston (1893-1947) Comic-book  publisher Max Gaines agreed to give him a chance.  It paid off.

Max Gaines died in a boating accident in north state New York.  The comicbook company was left to his son William Gaines, who didn't want it and decided to dismount it.  But he had a change of heart and took an interest in creating comicbooks and stories.  One of the people he hired, Harvey Kurtzman created (mostly) MAD Comicbook.  Issue #10 lampooned WONDER WOMAN.  

Talk about coming  a full circle!.
