Exclusive — The Next Bio After the Steve Jobs Book!
When Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs was released last week, it immediately became a mega-bestseller. So it’s no surprise that Isaacson is already hard at work on his next biography. Its topic is a closely guarded secret, but The Idiotical has obtained an exclusive first look at the book’s cover!
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.)

Halloween is here but you don't have a costume ready to go? What happened? Did Heidi Klum steal your idea? Or is it because you didn't order your Spy vs. Spy costume in time? If you plan on eating your weight in Fun Size Milky Way bars, you better put something over that mug.

Aerosmith frontman and American Idol Judge Steven Tyler was on tour in Paraguay — that is until he started feeling dizzy and took a tumble in his hotel room!

Remember These? 'MAD Trick-or-Treat Reading' Packs
Longtime MAD readers will remember this ill-conceived product from 1987. Warner Books packaged five copies of Howling MAD and five copies of Monster MAD — each 16 pages — with the hope that people would distribute them to trick-or-treaters instead of candy. (Evidently Warner Books thought it was okay to rot kids minds, but not their teeth!) We have no idea if the Halloween giveaway was successful or not, but since we didn’t do it again the following year, we suspect Warner Books lost a bundle on the deal.
