Great covers! I actually went through a Mad Magazine phase for about 2 years. I think it was in my late teens. Thanks!

I stuck with Mad magazine far longer than most, but I guess I was out by 1993 as I have no memory of that particular cover

Excellent post worthy of Manhattan’s magnitude! Lots of DC goodness, and everything ever (ever, ever) is made better by the inclusion of Watchmen!! 🙂

Yeah. I read the novel in the early 90s for the first time, borrowed by an older friend who told me ‘you just HAVE to read this’, then I finally picked up my own copy in the early 2000s. An immense piece of work, enhanced imo by the Synder film and the recent series which was outstanding!

As you know my friend, I too love Zack’s
cinematic interpretation of the comic (actually, I love all things Snyder) and the recent TV series was also phenomenal, plus DC’s recent Doomsday Clock maxi-series is the literal cherry on the Crimebusters cake!! 🙂
