A 64-Page Celebration of Comics, Chaos, and Questionable Decisions

From a DC press release:

DC is proud (and slightly concerned) to announce MAD About DC, a 64-page one-shot arriving April 1, 2026. Yes, April 1. And no, this isn’t a prank—unless you count letting Chip Zdarsky run this thing as its Guest Editor a prank on the DC Universe itself. You’d have to ask Chip.

MAD About DC brings together an all-star lineup of writers and artists to lovingly roast, parody, and generally make a mess of the characters fans hold dear.

“This project embraces the spirit of MAD Magazine in the best possible way,” said Marie Javins, DC’s Editor-in-Chief.

Among the contributing cartoonists are a few names familiar to The Daily Cartoonist readers and many names familiar to comic book fans.

• Sergio Aragonés with “A MAD Look at Comic Book Stores”
• Jim Zub & Ramon Perez teaming for “Guy vs. Spy”
• A brand-new DC Fold-In by Charles Soule & Ryan Browne
• A parade of MAD-style parodies skewering the DC comic books you love, and a few you’ve always hated anyway, from Kyle Starks, Dave Johnson, Tini Howard, Mattie Lubchansky, Mark Waid, Ty Templeton, Rainbow Rowell, Vita Ayala, M.L. Sanapo, Mark Russell, Steve Lieber, Jeff Parker, Lukas Ketner, Gerry Duggan, Scott Aukerman, Mitch Gerads, Joanne Starer, Joe Quinones, Scott Snyder, Josh Williamson, Deniz Camp, Gail Simone, Colleen Doran, Joe Kelly, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Valentine De Landro, Ryan North, Erica Henderson, Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Mariko Tamaki, Riley Rossmo, Al Ewing, PJ Holden, Shannon Wheeler, Leah Williams, Isaac Goodhart, Cody Ziglar, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Daniel Kibblesmith, Brandt&Stein, Casey Gilly, J. Bone, Skottie Young, Andrew Wheeler, Stephen Byrne, Colleen Coover, Benjamin Errett, Matt Fraction, Kagan McLeod, Lee Gatlin, Joseph Starkey, Graham Roumieu…and more?!

The actual MAD magazine is now up to new number 47 featuring a Spy vs Spy cover by Peter Kuper.

The current issue features new material by Peter Kuper, Sergio Aragonés, Desmond Devlin and Tom Richmond, Teresa Burns Parkhurst, Kerry Callen, and Johnny Sampson plus classic material by Frank Jacobs and George Woodbridge, Dick DeBartolo and Angelo Torres, Dave Berg, Don Martin, Al Jaffee, Mike Snider and Kevin Pope, Antonio Prohias, Tom Bunk, Corey Pandolph, John Martz, Arnoldo Franchioni, Ryan Pagelow, Tom Cheney, and Mark Frederickson.

And as Tom Richmond told us work will begin on the new MAD #50 which is really MAD #600. It should be released this Summer and we hope that will be an extra special edition.
