The short-lived "Spy vs. Spy" comic strip was a full-color Sunday strip syndicated by Tribune Media Services as part of "Mad"'s year-long 50th-anniversary celebration. Charter subscribers included "The Los Angeles Times", "Seattle Post-Intelligencer", "Denver Post" and "Atlanta Journal-Constitution". TMS Director of Creative Services Fred Schecker commented, "We're excited to represent a comic that so many newspaper readers already know and love. It is still as fresh and appealing as ever. In fact, it's aged a whole lot better than I have."
