Our books would have printings of about 50,000. So today Mad is under 200,000. We’d sell out the reprints.[/quote] Jay's numbers are a little off there. MAD's best year in the 60's was 1969, where it averaged a little over 1,884,000 copies per issue, which was not monthly but 8 times a year. MAD's best year was 1974, where it did a little over 2.1 million copies and issue... gaian 8 times a year. It never came close to 3 million copies of any issue. Today MAD sells about 205,000 copies per issue, and is a monthly with 12 issues a year. [quote]In the 60s, Mad sold 3 million a month. Our books would have printings of about 50,000.
