Brazil Panini Edition - March 2008 |
||||||||
| In 2007 Panini Publishing (the company that also publishes MAD in Germany) picked up the rights to the DC catalog. The first issue of MAD was published in March 2008. This issue is a variation of the cover of US # 483 (November 2007) . | |||||||||
| Caribbean/Puerto Rico - 1978 ? | |
||||||||
| Duplicate of US Version # 201 from September 1978. There are no dates on any of the "Edicion Carribe" MADs that I have but I assume they are printed near the time of similar US Versions. | |||||||||
|
China - April 1990 |
||||||||
| The series ran for just 6 issues. The front cover of several issues had english "MAD" on it with the rest written in Chinese and a back cover had the Chinese version of the word "MAD". Four of the issues had original unique covers. This issue #1 had a unique cover. | |||||||||
| Denmark "First" Edition 1962 (1964?) |
|
||||||||
| There is some question about the first Danish "MAD." A magazine appeared in 1962 called "GAS" (probably because the Danish word "MAD" means "food"). After 10 issues of "GAS" using all the familar MAD material they renamed the magazine "Dansk MAD". The first "MAD" was the second issue of 1964. The first "GAS" cover looks like the first UK cover and the first Swedish cover. The first "MAD" cover must be a locally produced cover. | |||||||||

Denmark Second Edition 1979 | ||||||||
| A new publisher (Semic) picked up the regins of MAD in Denmark after an eight-year absense. This edition ran for 8 years and produced 112 issues. This cover is a copy of a US special. | |||||||||
