Fantastic purchase for several reasons. As Mad Magazine always says on the cover, "Cheap!" But also a great overview of the history of Don Martin's work. We sat at the dinner table laughing our butts off with three generations of people who remember the very first cartoons to a 12 year old who loves the wit and humor as well. They are a bit big, so, they do kind of elicit sitting at a big table where the books can lay flat. They are too big to sit in your lap and too heavy to hold up to read. I recommend this collector's set if you like Mad Magazine, but especially if you're like me and LOVE Don Martin's humor.
I grew up reading Mad magazine (1960's) and always thought Don Martin was a hoot. I even invested my time as a youngster in learning to draw the cartoon characters of his imagination. This volume set of books is one that I will treasure and share with my grandchildren.
Verified purchase: Yes
If you're a Mad magazine fan this two hard cover two book set is well worth the money, very collectable, glad I have one now in my Library. Wonderful art work by Don Martin, and a historical look at the way the world really is, Completely Mad is is Spot On.

This is an excellent collection of Mad Magazine's Don Martin cartoons. Great memories from my childhood and humor that is timeless. A wonderful collection that will be handed down to my son.

This deserves to have packaging like 'Calvin/Hobbes' and 'FarSide'. If you read more than 2 MAD magazines in your life, then I'm sure you laughed at a Don Martin drawing/cartoon/sound effect. This is all of them (except for a few of the full story lines that were printed in seperate softbacks). It's from the beginning to the end. Very interesting to see the evolution of his lines, like the above mentioned strips as well.. Dang, this stuff is funny and funny to look at!! I'll be laughing for a while to come. Thanks Don, for being so MADdened! HAHA!
