Circa 2019, Mad Magazine announced that it would no longer be sold on newsstands with subsequent publications focusing on previous content. On that issue, Frankenstein’s monster is carefully creating his own monster, a model of Alfred E. Perhaps the cover that has the most interest to modelers debuted in September, 1964.

Soon, the Norman Mingo-created face of Alfred E. However, the innovation of substituting Alfred’s face for the celebrity de jour guaranteed ideas for covers in perpetuity and monthly staff meetings were held to discuss cover ideas for the eight-issues-per-year magazine.
