Starts Jan 3 Stories and art by Dick Ayers, Fred Ottenheimer, and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio. Eh! was Charlton's attempt at a one-word-title humor and satire comic, inspired by the success of EC's Mad. A boxing manager needing a new fighter looks for the toughest guy he can find, but they all have some hidden weakness. Hoiman the cab driver faces the strange and dangerous challenges of picking up a day's fares in the city. Eh! does a version of Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride," just as Mad did a year later. Spoofs of 1950s advertising, including cigarettes, deodorant ("He smells like a gymnasium!"), and "Cellophane Diapers" - as Alfred E. Neuman would say, "Yecch!" The cover features an unprintable visual pun. Be Hacky - Go Nutz; A Million Dollar Gate!; Taxi, Lady?; Eh-!?!; Herman's Hazard; The Ride of Paul Revere!; Histerical News!; Don't Be Aloof...; Clearview Cellophane Diapers. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
