Description
MAD #1 Verified Signatures: Harvey Kurtzman (EC, 1952) CBCS VG 4.0 White pages. What could be better than a copy of the historic first issue of the first satire comic? Why, one that's been signed and remarqued - not once, but twice - by the MAD-est of the zany creative team that hatched the groundbreaking publication! The personalized autograph by Kurtzman on the front cover is upstaged by an expanded handwritten message and autograph on the splash page, a photo of which we took before the book was encapsulated. To Dr. David Lubin, Kurtzman wrote, "... as a matter of fact, doc, I do have a pain that....." Besides Kurtzman on the cover, the premiere issue featured Bill Elder, Jack Davis, John Severin, and Wally Wood. Look for other copies from this collection in this and future Select auctions! Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Jack Davis, John Severin, and Bill Elder art. Overstreet 2023 VG 4.0 value = $1,028.More Information: EDIT: Typos corrected.
