The press release follows:

Media Release – DC today previewed the June 17 release of MAD Magazine’s landmark 600th issue, affectionately (or cheekily) dubbed the “Sexcentennial Issue” by its more mischievous readers. Marking 74 years of irreverent humor, MAD#600 delivers a robust mix of brand-new material and beloved classics: a perfect blend of satire, nostalgia, and the magazine’s signature idiocy.
