MAD Predicts Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in 1999

MAD has a history of predicting the future. We call it "MAD E.S.P." Eagle-eyed reader Jimmy Blake wrote in recently, pointing out that MAD cast Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in the article "Upcoming Movies Based on Comic Books" way back in 1999. That's a full nine years before Jackson played the role in Iron Man!

If you want to know who will be the fourth actor to play The Hulk after Mark Ruffalo inevitably gets the boot, you've come to the wrong place. It's not that we don't know — we're just not telling.

Writer: Desmond Devlin
Artist: Amanda Conner

Celebrity Snaps: Frank Sinatra, Jr.

"Celebrity Snaps" meets the MAD Office Move Cleanup! We found these photos of Frank Sinatra, Jr. tucked away at the bottom of a desk. No one can remember seeing them before — we're not even sure if either of them ran in the magazine!

Here's the real mystery: who's that on the right in the second photo? If you know, tell us in the comments! (It's not Rick Rubin — he was only 10 years old at the time and wouldn't have a full beard until the following winter.)
