![]() His take on Gaines is overwhelmingly positive, bordering on fandom at times. The author, Frank Jacobs, worked for Gaines at Mad for years. The book itself is mainly a biography of Mad founder and longtime editor William Gaines. I remember some of the cartoons from the serialized edition of the book being very funny and crude - typical Mad Magazine. As a result, the book wasn't nearly as appealing as it would have been with drawings and features in tact. I couldn't see any of the art since the book hadn't been formatted properly. However, there was a problem with the artwork. I read the text of the book and enjoyed the story of William Gaines. ![]() When I looked for it again a few years ago, I was delighted that I could download it. I wasn't able to locate a copy of the book. I bought one issue and really enjoyed the excerpt - both the text and the artwork. As a result, Mad decided to serialize it over several issues. I originally ran across The Mad World of William Gaines in Mad Magazine in about 1999.Īt the time, the book was out of print. ![]()
