Mad is still being published in the USA and some newsagents stock it in the UK, but the British edition ended years ago.big bad bri wrote: just wondering how many issues did mad actually last and was the us vesion different to the uk version as i found a few in my cupboard the other day which i can not remember buying at all although i did buy the odd one depending on the film parody when i was a kid.
The UK edition mainly reprinted US material but because the frequency and page count was different there were sometimes new covers done for the UK edition. There were also some clumsy redrawings to make some strips less American, such as changing a baseball scene to a cricket scene.
