MAD Celebrates Its Milestone 600th Issue with All-New Content and Classic Favorites

The 600th issue of MAD Magazine? Now that IS a big deal!
 

MAD Magazine #600 cover by Sergio Aragonés


Burbank, CA — DC today previewed the June 17 release of MAD Magazine’s landmark 600th issue, affectionately (or cheekily) dubbed the “Sexcentennial Issue” by its more mischievous readers. Marking 74 years of irreverent humor, MAD#600 delivers a robust mix of brand-new material and beloved classics: a perfect blend of satire, nostalgia, and the magazine’s signature idiocy.

MAD #600 features a wraparound cover illustrated by legendary MAD artist Sergio Aragonés, a commemorative “Spy vs. Spy” poster created exclusively for the milestone issue, and a heartfelt tribute to MAD by comedian Patton Oswalt. Readers will also find an all-new Fold-In, plus a fresh lineup of original pieces showcasing the magazine’s trademark wit.

In true MAD Magazine fashion, the issue also includes classic MAD-style parodies of beloved television shows and films, offering a balance of sharp cultural commentary and feel-good—and sometimes irreverently rotten—stories only MAD can deliver.

Whether readers are seeking cutting-edge satire or a trip down memory lane, MAD’s 600th issue offers a comprehensive, celebratory experience that honors the magazine’s legacy while continuing to push comedic boundaries.
