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.

Book appears virtually unread, near sharp and square, but does exhibit a store sticker over the original price at rear cover of the type one might use when giving a book as a gift. 192 full color pages of comics from comic books that rivaled MAD Comics in the 1950's including MAD's own 'sister' comic book, Panic! Includes annotations at the rear for those who may not quite get the topical references and to profile some of the creators! Uncommon! N° de réf. du vendeur 004467

The Sincerest Form of Parody : the Best 1950s Mad Inspired Satirical Comics

Évaluation du vendeur 2 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** - *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened -- 208 pages. -- with a bonus offer--; âWhat, me imitated?âWhen 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 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 (Whatâs 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 (âThe Lady or the Tigerâ), and history (Pancho Villa). Some didnât even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy, off-the-wall stories. These earnest copiers of MAD realized that Will Elderâs cluttered âchicken fatâ art was a good part of MADâs success, and these pages are densely packed with all sorts of outlandish and bizarre gags that make for hours of amusing reading. The âparody comicsâ are uniquely ââ50s,â catching the popular culture zeitgeist through a dual lens: not only reflecting fifties culture through parody but also being themselves typical examples of that culture (in a way that Harvey Kurtzmanâs MAD was not). This unprecedented volume collects over 30 of the best of these crazy, undisciplined stories, all reprinted from the original comics in full color. Editor John Benson (who wrote the annotations for the first complete MAD reprints, and interviewed MAD editor Harvey Kurtzman in depth several times over the years) also provides expert, profusely illustrated commentary and background, including comparisons of how different companies parodied the same subject. Artists represented include Jack Davis, Will Elder, Norman Maurer, Carl Hubbell, William Overgard, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Bill Everett, Al Hartley, Ross Andru & Mike Esposito, Hy Fleischman, Jay Disbrow, Howard Nostrand, and Bob Powell. Casual comics readers are probably familiar with the later satirical magazines that continued to be published in the â60s and â70s, such as Cracked and Sick, but the comics collected in this volume were imitations of the MAD comic book, not the magazine, and virtually unknown among all but the most die-hard collectors. For the first time, Fantagraphics is collecting the best of these comics in a single, outrageously funny volume. 208 full-color illustrations. N° de réf. du vendeur 98863
