American news: MAD rebooted!

I don't cover American comics here very often but this news is worth shouting about. E.C.'s long running Mad magazine is getting a new look next month and a restart with a new first issue. The new logo is based on the original 1950s masthead, and there'll be more emphasis on comics content. 

There was of course a British edition of Mad that ran for many years. These days, the U.S. edition can be found in UK comics shops (if they order it) and selected newsagents (a couple of months after it goes on sale in the USA).

For more info on the new Mad, check out the blog of Tom Richmond, one of the artists:

Mad No.1 is launched on April 18th in comics shops.
