GET LOST The Comic Designed To Send You!

Are you a fan of Kurtzman’s Mad or Cracked? If so, you must see Ross Andru and Mike Esposito’s historic Mad-imitation comic, collected here. Three groundbreaking, laugh-filled issues were published before Bill Gaines sued the magazine's distributor, shutting down production of the magazine—even though Gaines lost the lawsuit. Notable spoofs here include Shane, Hondo, Stan Freberg, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Mike Hammer, Flash Gordon, The Invisible Man, Gunga Din, and the 1950s horror film classic, The Thing! Andru and Esposito never produced more issues. This collection features essays from noted comic book historians and tons of documentary material. Here is MAD's most noteworthy competitor, in full color. Reprinted on heavy coated paper, this collection is a treasure to behold for fans of MAD, comic book collectors, and anyone looking for a good laugh. It features completely remastered color and an essay from noted comics historian Ron Goulart. Andru and Esposito went on to find fame with a variety of DC titles, including Wonder Woman, Metal Men, The Flash, and the lost dinosaurs in Star Spangled War Stories. However, their hilarious and doomed satire magazine still stands as one of the best things they ever did together. Out of Print. Condition: Fine Minus. Edge wear, corner bumps and a bend with a crease at the top corner.
