Mercer Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Damn, R.I.P. I knew I remembered that name from somewhere. Wonder if they’re still printing magazines these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deine Mudder Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 32 minutes ago, Mercer said: Wonder if they’re still printing magazines these days. Wikipedia says From 1952 to 2018, Mad published 550 regular magazine issues, as well as scores of reprint "Specials", original-material paperbacks, reprint compilation books and other print projects. After AT&T acquired Time Warner in June 2018, Mad ended newsstand distribution, continuing in comic-book stores and via subscription. And it seems there's a subscribtion via DC nowadays - https://subscriptions.dccomics.com/mad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays kids have YouTube, manga, and Andrew Tate. It's not even close to a fair trade in any sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
