I own both the Cochran sets (b&w and color) and all the original mad comics. I did buy one or two of the dc archives of mad long ago but can't remember how they looked.

How was the reproduction of the dc archives?
Was the color matched correctly to the originals?

I own all the early mad magazines too (up through the early 1980's) and although I love them I don't see a big enough market to ever get them out in HC. Someone could still buy reading copies of the magazines without breaking the bank per issue unless you wanted to get a massive run of issues.

I also have to agree that the Kurtzman comic book mad was superior to the magazine version. Kurtzmans mad comics although containing dated material now are still genius.
