Wallach, Ashley Cooper, Ed Fisher, Arnold Benson, Alex Atkinson, Harry Purvis, Paul Rosner, Howie Schneider, Larry Siegel and Russ Heath. Another attempt by Harvey Kurtzman to duplicate the success of Mad magazine, Humbug was actually published by the artists who created it. This volume includes trimmed and bound copies of issues #1-9 (the other two issues of Humbug were magazine-sized). Parodies of iconic 1950s movies, plays and TV shows, including Jailhouse Rock, My Fair Lady, and Peyton Place. Satirical looks at advertising, sports, car culture, the Space Race, and other aspects of mid-20th century American life. Contributions from many past and future MAD Idiots, including Bill Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Al Jaffee, Arnold Roth and of course Harvey Kurtzman. 288 pages, B&W.
