Oh man, a friend of mine and I used to read Mad in study hall. We then would proceed to have Spy vs Spy wars. One would draw a scene on notebook paper and pass it to the other, it went back and forth 'till we had the whole page filled. Weekly Reader was always a favorite, I still have some Senior Weekly Reader's from 6th grade. I remember the Eerie & Creepy comics series, many involved war stories. We had this one kid's mag, don't remember the title, that came in the mail and had spoof-like stories and cartoons. There was one for Bounty paper towels, renamed Bouncy. Another was about Ewel Gibbons, called Ewel Nibbles.

I loved Highlights! Especially because it was addressed to me. I didnt get much mail in the 70's so anything that arrived in the mailbox with my name on it was exciting.

I used to love reading Dynomite and Bananas (And now for today's totally useless trivia fact: the editor of Bananas was none-other then (now) famous children's book author, R. L. Stine (writing as Bob Stine).
I loved Highlights too.
in my pre-teen years, I'd read 16 and Tiger Beat and Mad Magazine and Cracked
Twilight Zone magazine
As for comics, I liked stuff like "The witching hour", "Unexpected", "House of Mystery", "Ghosts", "The man ghosts of Doctor Graves", Ghostly Hauntings, etc. ad infinum

I really liked "Mad" until about my senior year at Topeka High, when I became a major fan of "National Lampoon."
The underground comix I liked were a bit less mainstream than Loki's - Joe Blow, Captain Pissgums & His Perverted Pirates and Cheech Wizard.

does anybody remember there was a national lampoon article where this hot-shot play reviewer starts a review with the words "f**king incredible!" -- just as a placeholder, mind you, before he writes the review -- then writes the review of this f**king incredible play but forgets to delete the "f**king incredible!" from the top of it -- with the consequence that it runs in the newspaper and everyone figures, well, if he's using the word "f**k", it must be okay now.
then it becomes a fad to use the word "f**k" in EVERYthing, and the national lampoon shows a bunch of fake products with the word "f**k" inserted into them, until it dies off after the same people who make the goldfish crackers come out with little duck crackers called "f**kleducks."
it's GENIUS. and i can't find evidence anywhere that it ever even existed.
