A large collection of Al Jaffee's comics and MAD magazines, including, a long run of approximately 190 issues of MAD, consisting of sequential issues from the early 2000s to the 2020s (apparently all of the MADs from #393 to #550, and from No. 1 to 8), but also with MAD #86 from April 1964 (featuring Jaffee's first fold-in), one from 1974, one from 1985, and three issues from the 1990s. A few of the covers are signed by Jaffee. The MADs are all housed in plastic magazine holders or manilla envelopes with identifying labels and post-it notes in Jaffee's hand.

Generally fine or near fine, with some issues more worn; and with, a large group of other comics, some of which include cartoons and strips by Jaffee, including Mosiah Times, Sponge Bob Comics, RoyalFlush, Garfield, Alter Ego, various DC titles, and more. Some in plastic boxes, some of these are loose. The entire lot contains approximately 500 comics and magazines. Generally fine, the lot should be seen, and it is sold as is.
