Question
i have 2  mad comic books, there both #1 Oct-Nov 1952 issues. how do i find someone to purchase them.

Answer
Hi Chris

Mad #1 has been reprinted a few times.  You seem confident, though, that the two you have are original.  In that case, these are pretty valuable and I don't imagine you would have much trouble selling them.  You could put them up on eBay or contact any number of comics shops or dealers.  Condition will be critical in determining their value.

I would be willing to make an offer if I had more information about their condition.  I could also suggest shops in your area if you tell me what state you live in (and near what big cities).  Or you could probably find any number of companies with an online search.

Good luck!

Chris
