In addition, there are marginals scattered throughout on every page, a detail I very much enjoyed. It is wonderfully oversized, and printed on good quality heavy paper. </font></span></p>

The former title is also long out of print. </font></span></p>

These I did not enjoy as much as the pieces which were 100% Sergio, but thankfully the former are in the minority. There are also reprints of some covers Sergio did, including the cover of the awesome MAD MANIA Super Special (Spring 1988). </font></span></p>

It would have been nice if there were era-appropriate marginals in each section (ie, marginals Sergio wrote in the '60s appearing in the '60s section). An especially glaring example (to my eye) is in the '60s section there is a marginal showing a man rushing past his wife to check his computer email! But perhaps this is more a matter of personal taste. On a more egregious note, one marginal appears twice (p.37 and p.50), and another appears three times (p.110, p.123, p.136)! Two other marginals were also erroneously duplicated, but in this case they were actually printed on one of Sergio's pieces, obstructing the artwork (p.146, upper left panel). </font></span></p>
