You may not have ever read an issue of MAD Magazine, but there is an extremely high chance you know who he is, even if just by face recognition. It is soon to be MAD Magazine "mascot" Alfred E. Neuman's birthday, and DC Comics is showing their love by providing Neuman variant covers featuring the MAD man on a few of their monthly titles. With an April Fool's birthday, comes spoofed out covers with Alfred keeping with his traditional comedic ways while "dressing up" as comic book characters.
Unlike last year, where Alfred E. Neuman played the parts of various heroes upon the covers, this year Alfred brings his A-game showing his outtake, or his dark side if he even really has one, on some of DC Comics villains. Titles like Batman, Superman, and other usual variant recipients are getting one, but also closing issues like Nightwing are amongst the last (which you can find over at CBR HERE). Which villains will be chosen remains to be seen, CBR reports so far The Penguin (cover pictured), Earth 2 Superman and Parasite have been given the nod.Curious as to how other alien-esque villains will look after having recieved the Neuman treatment come April. Until then...
Stay Nerdy!
