Price sticker on front cover. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over seven decades, MAD Magazine has stood as America's most irreverent satirical institution, and Issue No. 164 is a prime example of the publication at its gleeful, anarchic best. This landmark issue turns its sharp comedic lens on the 1973 Academy Award-winning film Paper Moon, tearing apart the beloved Peter Bogdanovich classic with the signature wit and visual parody that made MAD a cultural phenomenon. The cover itself — a pitch-perfect recreation of the film's iconic imagery, complete with Alfred E. Neuman standing in for Tatum O'Neal atop a crescent moon — signals the sharp, affectionate mockery within.\n\nPublished by EC Publications in 1974,, this issue captures MAD at the height of its cultural dominance, when it commanded the attention of millions of American readers hungry for comedy that punctured Hollywood's pretensions. The magazine's stable of legendary contributors — artists and writers who transformed lowbrow parody into a genuine art form — bring their trademark exaggeration and visual gag-craft to every page. A genuine collectible for fans of 1970s pop culture, classic cinema history, and the golden age of American satire, this issue leaves one wondering: was there anything MAD couldn't make funnier?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313643233499,"sku":"2026100009127-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/841683c6-d18d-4d53-86aa-2125700df33a.png?v=1789524908","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009127-secondhand-mad-magazine-no-164-january-1974-paper-moon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
