Mad #70 (Albert Feldstein) - Fallout Shelter Issue - April 1962

Just when you think you know what to expect, Mad surprises you.  The back cover of Mad #70 is the first Mad Sampler embroidered by Margaret Szep.  This sampler is an absolute work of art.

Inside were several treats: Wally Wood filled Gary Belkin's museum with 75 reproductions of classic television commercials and lots of gags; Bob Clarke and Al Jaffee solved the snow removal problem; Mort Drucker and Larry Siegel did the Route 66 parody; Jack Rickard and Don Reilly filled seven pages with the "North American Veeblefetzer Annual Report."  Where else can you get such variety?  [Also Berg, Freas, Martin, spies and microbes.] [MADlog #13]
