  early version of MAD in finland. It ran for three years. A total of 30 Issues were published. the cover a copy of the US cover for issue # 88 in July 1964.          
                   
 
     
Finland "Suomen MAD"
1982
   
                 
        After a ten-year rest in Finland this version, published by Egmont Kustannus has been going strong for twenty years. It is still being published. I love trying to read that finnish language MAD! This cover only appeared on this issue and nowhere else.    
                   
  France "Fracelia" Edition
November 1965
   
     
                 
  This early version of MAD in France ran for just 8 issues before the French got wise and ran them out of the country! This cover looks very similar to the first Swedish Cover and the first UK cover.
