The fifty-seventh comic: #151 MAD
Sometimes, the format of this list limits what we read. In this case, it's MAD magazine that's known and beloved. For the list, however, we're looking at the 23 issues of the preceeding comic book. While, I suppose, still iconic as the source, it resembles titles like Shock and Suspenstories a lot closer. It has two or three stories that, this time, are humorous rather than horror like, often parodying existing stories or tropes, but still in a more rigid form. Sometimes it hits, and the more experimental parts towards the end of the run do so a lot more often - I'd say it starts working for me around issue 15 - but too often it's too dense and the jokes don't land because of that. I've started reading the magazine too, and it's slightly better, but for the most part, this specific entry is too much part of that time to enjoy here.
