Help! (and other Kurtzman mags) 0

[wpbooks01]

Fun And Games was created with leftover material when Help! folded. There are also variations on both Help! paperbacks as both were revised between their respective two printings.

Onto another Kurtzman edited book.  Humbug was, until the last two issues, printed at slightly smaller than comic book size.  But in terms of content it's very much a magazine in the vein of Mad or Help.  Unlike Help, I've only got a couple issues, and my copy of #1 is in storage in who knows which box.

So interesting looking at each and every stamp , magazines were so interesting and hours of reading back then , same as comics , it took a goo 45 min to read a comic many years ago , now it takes five minutes to read a comic or magazine ????

Fun and Games is a real obscure Kurtzman effort. It is full of mazes, dot to dot, crossword puzzles and a lot of Help like photo gags. Not one of his best efforts but real scarce.

While I have it handy, I’ll post this undercopy of Trump #1. Very art heavy with great art by Elder, Davis, Jaffee and others. It includes one of Elder’s best pieces. A full color fold out spread of “Our own epic of Man”. If you look close, Alfred E Neuman is pictured with a woman’s bra as an ear warmer!

Published by Hugh Hefner at 50 cents it only ran two issues. A very quality and lavish book, it cost what two issues of MAD or one issue of Playboy cost at the same time. Too bad it failed because it is Kurtzman at his prime.

Amazing artwork that kurtzman could sure draw , must have take 8 hours just to do some of those individual pages ??‼️ And funny content too ??‼️ So funny?
