Small cannonballs from culverines (left) have been found by archaeologists in the 15th-16th century layer at the Zishtova Fortress in Bulgaria’s Svishtov leading to hypotheses that they must be from 1461 – 1462 when Wallachian Voivode Vlad Dracula besieged and conquered briefly the Danube fortress.

MAD Magazine to Effectively Shutter After 67 Years

Sources tell that after issue 9, the new MAD will no longer be sold on newsstands and will only be available through comic book shops as well as mailed to subscribers. After issue 10, there will no longer be new content in subsequent issues save for the end-of-year specials (those will be all-new). Beginning with issue 11, the magazine will only feature previously published content — classic and best-of nostalgic fare — from its massive fault of the past 67 years. DC, however, will also continue to publish MAD books and special collections.
