Alfred E. Neuman Face Cardboard Display for Paperbacks • Germany
Country:
Germany

This rare piece is a sales display for German MAD paperbacks. It was probably distributed to bookstores in Germany in the late 70s or during the 80s. The display consists of two parts that plug into each other. The upper part depicts the face of Alfred E. Neuman and the lower part is used to store the paperbacks. The lower part is designed in such a way that it appears as if Alfred is holding the paperbacks in his arms. The entire display is made of hard cardboard.
In its complete state, the display is extremely difficult to find. So far, this is the only piece we know of. In the USA, the upper part of the display was once sighted.
