About the book

When MAD became a surprise hit as a comic book in 1953, other comic publishers were quick to jump on the bandwagon, eventually bringing out a dozen imitations with eclectic titles like Flip, Whack, Nuts, Crazy, Wild and Get Lost. John Benson collects the best and funniest material from these comics, including parodies of movies, TV shows, comic strips, ads and much more. Some of these publications didn't even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy and off-the-wall stories. This unprecedented work reprints over 30 of these crazy tales in full-colour.
