On June 17, DC Comics will release MAD Magazine’s landmark 600th issue, affectionately (or cheekily) dubbed the “Sexcentennial Issue” by its more mischievous readers.

DC Comics News:

Marking 74 years of irreverent humor, MAD #600 delivers a robust mix of brand-new material and beloved classics: a perfect blend of satire, nostalgia, and the magazine’s signature idiocy.
