Fourth in a series of Mad magazine reprints from the periodical's early days. Covering the period from April 1954- June 1954, Mad makes fun of GI Joe, The Face Upon the Floor, Wonder Woman, Shane, Flash Gordon, Dragnet (again), Archie, From Here To Eternity and Mark Trails.
This issue also sees the introduction of Basil Wolverton's macabre, hideous illustrations, as well as covers by artists other than Kurtzman. Starting with Issue #11, Mad beings making fun of another EC-issued crime story line, and does a send-up of 3D comics (a lousy idea, no matter what year they're introduced).
Along with the usual gang or artists, one B. Krigstein's work is included, but he's clearly not up to the task, and provides filler material. ( )
