Mad was the first satirical publication in history to be read mostly by children. Now the children have grown up, and though they might not have learned much in college, they do have coffee tables. Maria Reidelbach's Completely Mad: A History of the Comic Book and Magazine will give them a lot of choice artwork from all the magazine's eras. B+
