MAD in Spain. Two different editions were printed, one in 1974 as "MAD" and a second in 1975 as "LOCURAS". I don't know how many were printed in each series. There can not have been many in the first series because it began in July 1974 and by January of the next year "LOCURAS" was being published. Interesting point : The MAD#1 and LOCURAS #1 are almost page-for-page identical. The cover and articles are exactly the same. Except for two pages, the content of the first issues are the same. Did this continue through the "LOCURAS" run? Was "LOCURAS" just a reprint of the MADs that came the year before? I only have two of the "MADs" and two "LOCURAS" issues so I can't know for sure yet.

Update: It seems there were 6 issues printed of MAD in Spain in Late 1974 and then they turned around in 1975 and printed the same 6 issues with the same covers, same articles on the same pages but with the "LOCURAS" masthead. I have seen all 6 of each of the two series and they match up (i.e. cover 1 of Locuras is the same as cover 1 of MAD.) I don't have all twelve issues in my collection because they are very rare. If you have any of the missing issues for sale contact me.

DECEMBER 2006 - A new edition has started publication in Spain. Issues are to be printed every two weeks. It seems that the issues contain some local material.

August 2007 - It seems that the new publisher of MAD in Spain was only able to print 8 issues of this series. What happened?

If you have information on Spanish MAD please email me and tell me your story. Thank You.
