About the series
From 2000 to 2005, EC brought back its iconic satirical spirit with Mad Color Classics, an 11-issue series that collected full-color reprints of classic Mad magazine material. Writers Charlie Kadau and Joe Raiola, alongside artists including Richard Williams, James Warhola, and Drew Friedman, curated these vibrant editions, which prominently featured the ever-grinning mascot Alfred E. Neuman. This series matters as a vivid, nostalgic celebration of Mad's golden-age humor, preserving its timeless irreverence for a new generation of readers.
