Marking the 40th anniversary of Spy vs. Spy, which made its first appearance in Mad #60, January 1961, this book is a virtual treasure trove of fun-loving Spy vs. Spy material, collecting for the first time unpublished and never-before-seen preliminary sketches, artist roughs, photographs from his family scrapbooks, and rare political cartoons. Additionally, eight biographical and historical essays by Sergio Aragones, Nick Meglin, and Art Spiegelman, among others, as well as a special color section reproducing dozens of Spy collectibles from over the years, is also included.
