I have Mad About The Sixties and Mad About The Seventies. Both of these publications are 8-1/4" x 10-1/2" (87 square inches), or about the same size as the original magazines. For some totally inexplicable reason, the aptly self-named "Idiots" at Mad decided to downsize Mad About The Fifties to 6-1/4" x 7-3/4" (48 square inches), a little over half the size of the original magazine. The print is much smaller, as are the drawings. In reducing the size of the drawings, much of the original detail is lost. This is particularly noticeable with artists such as Jack Davis, where exquisite detail is one of the hallmarks of his craft. The "Idiots" dropped the ball on this one.
