Got a small group of real obscure 1950’s MAD imitator magazines coming up tomorrow for those who like these...

[Robot Man]

Some real obscure ones coming up...

Around 1958-1959 publishers were seeing the big numbers put up by MAD Magazine. They decided, like they did with the comic version, to get on the bandwagon. There were loads of short run titles flooding the market. Most except Cracked, did very poorly and folded fast. Some are actually quite good with many GA/SA artists lending their skills. These are very obscure and for the most part quite rare. I have collected them for years. These are my dupes. Many, I have only seen once or twice. If you collect these, condition de dammed as you are un-likely to find many of these at all.

These are all quite low grade but cheap. Well worth grabbing a few if you like MAD or satire. Probably won't see many of them again...

SOLD!

Campus Howl #2 1960

Great Joe Simon cover! I have only seen #2 and #3. That was probably about it for this one.

Mag is a bit off kilter. A few tiny edge tears, bends and general wear. No pieces missing major tears or any creasing. Everything well attached. Yellowed but supple interior pages.

$15.

Thimk #4 Dec 1958

Cover is 3/4ths neatly split. A few small bug holes. General wear. Can be read carefully. Paper is very supple.

$20.

Spine is split at top and bottom of spine but holding well in the center. Has some waterstaining on left edge. A few tiny, edge chips and tears. Nice, supple interior paper.

$20.
