ARAGONES, SERGIO - Mad Magazine #199 pages, Very rare group of Sergio's famous Marginal cartoons

Media Type: Pen and Ink
Art Type: Interior Page
Artists: Sergio Aragones All

One of the fastest and most clever cartoonists in the world, Sergio Aragones has been entertaining the public with his work for over five decades. His long association with MAD began in the early 60s. The cartoonist had a featured section in every issue called "A Mad Look At....", and Aragones also become famous for his wordless "Marginals" -- small wordless cartoons which were inserted into the margins and between panels of the magazine.

This exceptional page of MAD marginal art is from issue #199, published in 1978. One of these marginals did not appear in that issue, but may have been published later. Note the instructions in the lower left regarding the reduction of the art for reproduction. The caricature is of Leonard Brenner, long-time production manager for MAD and it is a treat that Aragones presented his production notes in such a humorously artistic fashion. MAD Marginals art is extremely rare to find for sale and this is one of only a few published pieces that we have seen come up for sale.
