Sincerest Form of Parody Satirical Comics

Edition excerpt from The Sincerest Form of Parody: The Best 1950s MAD-Inspired Satirical Comics (2012): When MAD became a hit as a comic book in 1953, other publishers were quick to jump on the bandwagon. For the first time, Fantagraphics collects the best of these comics in a single, outrageously funny volume. With titles such as FLIP, WHACK, NUTS, UNSANE, BUGHOUSE, and GET LOST and featuring the work of artists such as Jack Davis, Will Elder, Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers, Bill Everett, Al Hartley and Bob Powell, The Sincerest Form Of Parody collects over 30 of the best of these crazy stories, all reprinted from the original comics, in full color.
