Classic Magazine Covers-Contenders or Pretenders?

There are so many Mad magazine covers that could be considered 'classic' for their satirical humor, if not for their value as fine art.

I LOVE that MAD #43 and find myself buying nice cheap copies whenever I come across them.

MAD #59 is a vote for me.  I absolutely LOVE this Freas cover.  And it feels like a Classic Halloween Cover to me.

Did you ever see the preliminary art before?

If we're including National Lampoons the Death issue with the dog cover is a shoo-in.  Not sure if you can slab NatLamps, though.

These might also qualify, I don't have the Death issue to share:

You can and dog cover is. I forgot to up my bid on this copy and lost out recently.

I really do want to track down a copy of this one some day, but the price may keep me from ever getting it.  I think it's the last issue I need with a Neal Adams story.

Oh well, at least I've got the reprint of the Adams story.
