"The central image (on this poster) is an early drawing of the character who eventually was developed into Alfred E. Newman the logo of Mad Magazine...If there was any one element of the '50s that foreshadowed the subversive counterculture of the '60s it was Mad Magazine. All the Psychedelic poster artists had read it and been influenced by it and it is appropriate that Alfred E. Newman be given his due homage..." Eric King states in The Collector's Guide to Psychedelic Rock Concert Posters Postcards and Handbills 1965-1973: Volume 1

This is UNQUESTIONABLY the finest CGC graded example of this poster to appear at auction. Other examples may surface but none will probably ever better the masterpiece offered here. The previous high water mark for this poster was a 9.8 example we auctioned for $581 earlier this year.
