This is a comic of Mad Magazine No. 172 published by E. C. Publications in Jan., 1975. The grade is probably at least a Good but I will leave that up to the buyer to determine from the scans. The pictures are of the actual copy being auctioned. The pages are complete and intact. The comic book has been stored bagged and boarded in a climate controlled environment in a smoke free home. If you would like more information, please feel free to ask. Please check out our other listings for more interesting items. I combine shipping whenever possible. All items are well packed and sent by USPS Ground Advantage Mail.
