Circa 1974 .. this MAD cover was an outrage in the marketplace! Store owners tore off its front cover on display for sale ... but I was a MAD subscriber at the time and got mine in the mail directly from 485 MADison Ave NY NY ...intact. Heeheheheee
Still have it to this day :)
Wow! You have a red X from 1974. Coolio!
check the link! I was an avid reader, but never subscribed.
I only collect pre 1979 comics and the majority I have are pre 1970. The Bronze, silver and gold ages of comics. My pride is my Iron Man collection and “Tales of Suspense”, minus the first Iron Man appearance #31 and a handful of others.
Lots of good buys on EBay. But if you are selling, woe is be.
