Mad is an American humor magazine founded by publisher William Gaines and editor Harvey Kurtzman in 1952. Offering satire on all aspects of American pop culture, the monthly publication deflates stuffed shirts and pokes fun at common foibles. It is the last surviving title from the notorious and critically acclaimed EC Comics line. Publisher Gaines had suffered greatly from targeted industry censorship, the enmity of his fellow publishers, and a weak distributor, which had driven his prior line of EC horror comics from the stands.
