Description
Mad #1 Gaines File pedigree (EC, 1952) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages. As Steven Heller noted in The New York Times recently, "If not for Mad magazine, there might never have been (in no particular order) 1960s youth culture, underground comics, Wacky Packs, "Laugh-In," "Saturday Night Live," R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman or an age of irony, period." And there's no more cherished prize for the Mad collector than a near-perfect copy of #1. This copy is far nicer than any you would have plucked right off the rack in 1952, selected right off the presses and lovingly preserved by EC Managing Editor Bill Gaines. Note that while CGC has certified this book as a Gaines File copy, no certificate accompanies this lot.Overstreet 2009 NM- 9.2 value = $7,250. CGC census 10/09: 5 in 9.8, 1 higher.CGC Grader Notes:
