Synopsis

During the 1950s, under the Humorama banner, Abe Goodman churned out scores of cheap digest-sized magazines that featured cheesecake photos and single panel pin-up cartoons. The digests featured the likes of Playboy's Jack Cole, Archie's Dan DeCarlo and glamour girl legend Bill Ward. In addition to these three pin-up cartooning luminaries, other notable who contributed to the pages of the Humorama digests included longtime illustrator Jefferson Machamer; Basil Wolverton, who influenced a generation of underground cartoonists; Mad's Dave Berg ("The Lighter Side"); and future syndicated cartoonists George Crenshaw ("Belvedere"), Bill Hoest ("The Lockhorns") and Brad Anderson ("Marmaduke"). With this latest volume in its popular pin-up series, Fantagraphics continues its commitment to showcasing the best of the classic pin-up cartoon artists. Drawing from private collections of original art and thousands of Humorama digests, editor Alex Chun has once again selected the best of these long out-of-print images.

Présentation de l'éditeur

During the 1950s, Abe Goodman - brother of Marvel Comics' publisher Martin Goodman - was the largest buyer of cartoons in the world. Publishing in New York City under the Humorama banner, Goodman churned out scores of cheap digest-sized magazines which included many single-panel pin-up cartoons. While seen as a dumping ground for past-it cartoonists or for material too risque to be sold elsewhere, they also provided a space for neophyte gag cartoonists, including Playboy's Jack Cole, Archie's Dan DeCarlo and glamour girl legend Bill Ward.
