3Nice product but poor scan quality loses some art  Jul 06, 2010
I love MAD magazine, and it is awesome to have so many issues on hand. This is a great resource. Beats my 15-year hard copy archive hands down. And I don't have to trash them anymore!

The pros: pretty decent search engine to find key words, or merely articles you liked in the past. MAD seems to have also indexed all the small print in the "Letters and Tomatoes" department, as well as random "factoids" in some of the newer issues, etc. Impressive.

Some may not like the way the super specials are set up (only providing the new material for each). I understand the logic, since disk space is limited. All tables of contents are hyper linked, and will take you to the article you select, regardless of magazine type. This is also true for the special inserts. They typically are not part of the mag, but are in a separate PDF file.

The cons: I cannot stand the poorly cropped pages, you lose a lot of the Marginals, some of the best work in the magazine.

The other bummer is that the scans do not scale well, meaning when you zoom in to view the marginals, the image becomes blurry and hard (if not impossible) to read. Same for some of the fine print in many drawings, where much humor can normally be found.

I do not wish to try and print these pages out just to see if the print quality is better than the screen quality, but will try just for the sake of doing it. It would be a pity if this worked, though.

If the scan quality and page size were addressed I would not hesitate to give this a 5-star rating. The above cons each cost a star. Despite these shortcomings, this is a great package to have!

5!Rediscovering MAD love!  May 22, 2010
Everything I wanted to see and read again is here! The search mode made it fairly easy to find specific strips, parodies, cartoons, etc., just by using a remembered name such as potrzebie or Joe Fonebone! Now I can (well, maybe) throw out all those musty, yellowing, old issues. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

3Sad about the res but get it anyhow...  Feb 12, 2010
Regarding the low resolution: to think I almost "upgraded" from my Broderbund cd-roms. Glad I read the negatives here.

Considering that the main draw for me with MAD is the stunning art by Wally Wood in the first hundred or so issues, it makes no sense to have less resolution. I truly pity the latecomers who missed out on the cd-rom set and will not get the full impact of each issue.

However, I was introduced to my dad's stack of twenty year old MADs when I was a tyke in the 1970s - it included most of the issues from 37-125 (lost in a housefire, darnit) and were not simply funny but an introduction to recent history. I supppose I was the only eight year old who knew all the jokes about Richard Nixon and Nikita Khruschev.

The very best issues were 35-85 (1957-1962), be sure to check them out.

SO - if you have little guys and a PC, by all means get this for them and get them interested in their social studies classes from a smart-ass angle. It's always been a great help to me.

On the serious side, for a younger generation that seems to have trouble questioning authority, this is essential in developing an over-all sense of humor regarding the world and how it works.

4Mad is Back!  Feb 09, 2010
Excellent quality copies of all or mostly all the original Mad issues through the years. It's great to have all this stuff on one DVD.

There was a problem getting the DVD to open on my Vista machine, but I managed to get it to work by uninstalling the latest Adobe .pdf program, and installing the version that comes with the DVD. Then I copied the .pdf files to an external hard drive for more convenience next time.

Very fun, to look back through all those years, and remember what a bonehead I was as a kid!National Lampoon Magazine & Mad Magazine Complete Collectors Comic Books Collection Bundle

5Absolutely Mad Review  Feb 06, 2010
I think it's great. You can look at all of the old Mad Magazines that you grew up with and even the ones before you were born which are a totally different format. All in all it is worth the money.
