ESTE OM ON 1/8 i Ly 2 Cees s ey veer be Poe ee ee ~~} wa A rn Greetings, you MAD readers! You're now holding in your MAD hands the very first MAD issue of MAD! For us, the editors, chis is a great occasion . .. for in the next few moments, you will be one of the many who are deciding the fate of MAD all over the country. Many months ago, we had a meeting in the New York offices of Enter- taining Comics. We decided we wanted to add another mag to our line . . . 0 we met behind locked doors to figure out what our new book would be. Well, we looked through our mail for a lead . . . we thumbed through our idea files we paced the floor, beat our heads against the wall, and bic off all our finger- nails! Should we do another war mag? No! Plenty of them on the stands already! Another science-fiction book? Nah! Market is filled to capacity! A horror book? Nyeh! Far too many of them around! Romance? Adventure? Western? Nope . .. nope . .. nope! We were tired of the war, ragged from the science-fiction, weary of the horror. Then i hic us! Why not do a complete about-face? A change of pace! A comic book! Not a serious comic book . . . but a COMIC comic book! Nor a floppity rabbit, giggily girl, anarchist teen- age type comic book . . . but a comic mag based on the short story type of wild adventure that you seem to like so well. THAT WAS IT! Immediately we leaped to our typewriters, our drawing boards, and our india ink... we worked like a crew of inspired demons! In no time at all, MAD was born. You are now holding our dream child in your hands. We had a swell time creating MAD . .= and we hope that MAD will have a long successful life. But you, the reader, will decide that! All right! We've said our piece. Now read! Enjoy yourself! When you're through with MAD, we'd like to know what you think of ie. Any suggestions or criticisms you have to make will be greatly appreciated. Subscriptions to MAD, as to any other E.C. mag, will set you back 75c for six issues . . . full year's output!

They hurried right home to talk co their little box of sale Tiberius O’Leary— Roman Counterspy! Rome 106 B.C. Senator Gaius Tobey assigned his best secret. operative, Tiberius O'Leary, io crack down on gamblers who were fixing the spear-point spreads in the gladiator matches. TI: Romans had been shocked by the re- cent bribing of schoolboy athletes in the Colosseum! Tiberius, working incognito, put on @ zoot-toga and headed for a little poolroom just off the main drag, the Appian Way! Inside the empotium, Marcus Sumatra, a dixicland lyre-player, crooned a tender refrain, “The Cry of the Wild Helvetian"! Tiberius quickly joined in & game of Roman Parchisi, Amid cties of “You're faded, Brutus,” "VII come XI,” and "Baby needs a new pair of sandals,” Tibe- rius raked in the chips! Suddenly, one of the heavy losers rapped Tiberius with a roll of denarii clenched in a closed fist, When Tiberius came to, the joint was raided by Chief Lucius Patton and the Forum Police, who put the bracchia on che and all! Tiberius was thrown into solus con- finement for 24 years and 8 moni despairing of ever fuliilling his secret mission. Ai this time, all men in Rome, between the ages of 18 and 25, re- ceived Greetings from the Emperor! You are hereby ordered to report to local draft board MCXXV for a pre-induc- tion physical!” The Romans put Tiberius on their shoulders and marched with him to the Grand Central Forum. They sang rousing choruses of "When Graccus Comes Marching Home Again,” “The Chariot-Wheel of Fortune,” “Bell Bot- tom Togas,” “This is the Pedites, Mr. Tiberius,” and “I'm a Roman Doodle Dandy’’!! At the draft board, Tiberius was im- mediately classified 1-A and sent to Fort Dixiebus for basic training, At the fort, he was given a glass of milk; some gefuelte fish, and then an Rl. (Roman Issue) haircut. Now he ‘was ready to relieve a Vestal Virgin for active duty! He entered the Chemical Corps at the out-break of the Second: Punic War. He was assigned to a place called Oak Ridge to carry on his ex- plosive experiments. Then the Romans invaded the Whife Cliffs of Dover! They discov- ered.that the white cliffs were made of chalk, so they broughtthome a gal- ley-full! The Roman Board of Educa- tion was elated! Roman students could write on their slates at last! But the triumph of progress was short-lived! The kids were ruining their togas with chalk-dust. Tailors and cleaners were living off the fad of the land!! Tiberius retired to his lab, and after 32 years of research, came out with an implement to clean slates. It was called “Eradico Scribendi’! But, as-he emerged from his sanc- tudry with his wonderful discovery, Rome fell!! And that's how ERASERS were born! ‘CRIME DEPT. ! COME AWAY FROM YOUR CLEAN LINEN, YOUR. UNDERWORLD!
