MAD MAGAZINE Covers from 1984-1990

Sometime in my childhood, I discovered MAD MAGAZINE. When I tell you this pulp satire magazine, part comic book part smut, changed my young life, I am not exaggerating. My parents rarely agreed to buy them for me, so I had to read my cousin’s copies, and I spent hours doing so. I was in awe of illustrations, the jokes, the way the magazine made fun of the most prominent celebrities of the time โ€” all of that inspired me and let me know my own little dark sense of humour would some day be appreciated.

Mostly I read MAD in the 80s and the early 1990s, so today I want to share the covers from 1984-1990, found here. If you want an accurate picture of 1980s pop culture, these MAD Magazine covers will walk you through all the pop culture people were talking about for the entire decade…
