Synopsis

When MAD became a surprise hit as a comic book in 1953, other comic publishers were quick to jump on the bandwagon, eventually bringing out a dozen imitations with eclectic titles like Flip, Whack, Nuts, Crazy, Wild and Get Lost. John Benson collects the best and funniest material from these comics, including parodies of movies, TV shows, comic strips, ads and much more. Some of these publications didn't even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy and off-the-wall stories. This unprecedented work reprints over 30 of these crazy tales in full-colour.

Présentation de l'éditeur

  • When MAD became a surprise hit as a comic book in 1953 (after the early issues lost money!) other comics publishers were quick to jump onto the bandwagon, eventually bringing out a dozen imitations with titles like FLIP, WHACK, NUTS, CRAZY, WILD, RIOT, EH, UNSANE, BUGHOUSE, and GET LOST. The Sincerest Form of Parody: The Best 1950s MAD Inspired Satirical Comics collects the best and the funniest material from these comics, including parodies of movies (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From Here To Eternity), TV shows (What's My Line, The Late Show), comic strips (Little Orphan Annie, Rex Morgan), novels (I, the Jury), plays (Come Back, Little Sheba), advertisements (Rheingold Beer, Charles Atlas), classic literature ("The Lady or the Tiger"), and history (Pancho Villa). Some didn't even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy, off-the-wall stories. These earnest copiers of MAD realized that Will Elder's cluttered "chicken fat" art was a good part of MAD's success, and these pages are densely packed with all sorts of outlandish and bizarre gags that make for hours of amusing reading.
