Doug with Al Feldstein at Eastern Michigan State University Me with living-legend,
former Mad editor Al Feldstein
at Eastern Michigan State University 2008-1-23.
We were attending John E. Hett's
Alfred, We Hardly Knew Thee exhibition and lecture.
A temporary photo-slideshow page is here.
A more permanent page on this site is in the works
some time in 2015
(when John has nothing better to do).

You really should check out Dick Hanchette's Mad Site.
Dick has put together an excellent resource for collectors interested in all things Mad.
Dick is also the reason you're looking at The Mad Cover Site now.
He gave it a very comfortable home in July '98.

Dick has also put together sections on the following:
MAD SPECIAL COVERS
PAPERBACK COVERS
BIG BOOKS
Valuable resources all!
Drop everything and visit Mike Slaubaugh's wonderful Mad Magazine Lists site. Get more information than you ever thought you needed on the Cover Artists, Contributor Appearances, Consecutive Issue Streaks, and Circulation Figures. Be amazed at Mike's compilation skills!


Scott Gosar has been selling Mad Magazines and lots of other humor publications for many years. He's definitely worth checking out if you're struggling in your search. He's also a wealth of information if a certain thing you thought you saw 20 years ago is keeping you up nights. Visit his site and tell him Doug sent you!

Jim Bumgardner developed a fun way to look at covers on this site with his "image browsing interface."
459 regular issues sit in an organized mess on your screen. When you roll your mouse over a cover, a bigger image of that cover swirls up from the pile. Adjust your screen resolution for the best effect.

Can you see Alfred amongst the magazines?

Hi Doug,
I was wondering if you would consider giving us a link
on your site in exchange for a caricature of yourself?
You can check out the caliber of our caricatures here.
...we are inspired by the art of Mad.
Let me know what you think about the offer.
Regards,
Chris

Looks pretty good to me...
Thanks for the muscular definition,
Doug







Hi Doug:
I wanted to let you know that we've launched the vintage magazine pages on The Collectors Weekly:
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/category/magazines.php
and we've included your Mad Magazine Cover Collection site as a great reference resource.
Take a look and let me know what you think... any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maribeth Keane
Associate Editor
The Collectors Weekly
P.S. If you felt like giving us a link back to Collectors Weekly somewhere on your site, we'd really appreciate it...

Al Feldstein, retired, former MAD Magazine's Editor, and E.C. Comics' artist/writer, is now a fine artist of western, landscape, wildlife, fantasy & sci-fi art. www.alfeldstein.com
Tim has a nice page of labels used for various Mad Magazine record releases in the 50's and 60's.
Check out a nicely done Don Martin site at
http://www.geocities.com/donmartinweb
Doug,
I am Bret Rugg and run a site GlobalMAD.com. It's been up since 2000. It is a forum for the discussion of MAD - globally. I am specifically interested in how MAD blends or clashes with the various local cultures. Also has a display for covers of regular issues from all countries where MAD is published. My collection is almost complete. Check it out and let's swap links.

I found the Mad parody of Valley of the Dolls
and thought I'd email it to you.
Maybe you can put it on your Mad website.
Regards,
Tim

This incredibly detailed site features
Mad's "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" parody.

Dear Mr. Gilford,
I love your site!!
My name is Leah and I run a Star Wars site that houses references to the films (the largest of its kind in the world). I was wondering if I could download covers from the following: raiders, temple of doom, last crusade, star wars, empire, return of the jedi, phantom menace and attack of the clones? I would be glad to give you credit and make links to your site. Here is a link to my site so you know what it is:
http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net
Thank you very much for your time and consideration,
Leah

This is Arie Kaplan. I'm a writer for MAD, and I was wondering if you could link to my site at www.ariekaplan.com
and I'll link to yours.
Hi there,
My name's Steve Black. Your site has inspired me to do a version of my own (cover site) but with all the British covers. I have linked your site on my page and I was hoping you might do the same for me
It's http://www.collectmad.com/britishcovers/index.htm.
Many thanks
Steve

Hello Doug, I have just created a site that has pictures of my ever growing collection. It is a somewhat small site but it has quite a few pictures. Here is the site:
http://www.geocities.com/graycow7/MAD.html.
By the way I love your site, it is a great reference and I use it all the time when I have to post a picture somewhere or see a picture print out. Thanks for your great resource.

Hi, Doug.
I have a large site about the German edition of MAD Magazine, including lots of cover pictures, a buyers and sellers - department and information about the issues, specials, collectibles and the history of the magazine.
I'd be very pleased, if you put a link to DEUTSCHES MAD ONLINE
(http://mad-online.home.pages.de/) on your pages. Thanks a lot.
Sincerely,
Mario "E." Mueller
Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoy your site - I'm a big Mad Magazine fan from waaaaaay back, and I love the old covers, especially those by the great Harvey Kurtzman.
I've set up a link to your page at my web site. The address is:
http://www.colba.net/~randymc/
Drop by and check things out.
-Randy Mc
I have already linked to your page, would you link to mine: http://www.geocities.com/madreub/ thanks
