Informazioni sugli autori
John Benson has written about comics since 1956, in many venues, and has edited several comics anthologies for Fantagraphics, the most recent being The Sincerest Form of Parody, a collection culled from Mad comics knock-offs. In 1966 he put on the second two-day comics convention ever held. His interviews with pioneering cartoonists such as Harvey Kurtzman, Gil Kane, and Bernard Krigstein are legendary. He has been the editor of Squa Tront, the respected long-running magazine about EC comics and their creators, since 1974.
Jay Lynch (1945-2017) was a Mad magazine and Topps's Wacky Packages/Garbage Pail Kids contributor and a member of the 1960s-1970s underground comics movement.

The Sincerest Form of Parody (Paperback)
Da: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 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 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. The 'parody comics' are uniquely ''50s,' 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 Kurtzman's 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 colour. 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 and 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 '60s and '70s, 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. A collection of the best of Mad-inspired comics in a single, outrageously funny volume -- now in a new and improved printing with an oversized format!
