2nd and later printings. Edited by John Benson. Art by Jack Davis, Bill Elder, Norman Mauer, Carl Hubbell, William Overgard, Dick Ayers, Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Al Hartley, Bill Everett, Dan DeCarlo, Ross Andru, Mike Esposito, Hy Fleishman, Iger Studio, Howard Nostrand, and Jay Disbrow. Cover by Howard Nostrand. Back Cover by Norman Mauer. Introduction by Jay Lynch. 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 (Whats 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 didnt even try for parody, but instead published odd, goofy, off-the-wall stories.These earnest copiers of Mad realized that Will Elders cluttered chicken fat art was a good part of Mads 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 Kurtzmans 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 color. Editor John Benson (who wrote the annotations for the first completeMadreprints, 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. Softcover, 208 pages, full color. Cover price $30.00.

Volume 1 - 1st printnig. By Tatuya Ishida. AT LAST! "The webcomic to end all webcomics" has landed at Dark Horse, and we're starting the collections at the beginning! Sinfest is one of the most-read and longest-running webcomics out there, and explores religion, advertising, sex, and politics in a way fleen.com calls "both brutally funny and devastatingly on-target." In an era when most syndicated newspaper strips are watered down and uninspired, creator Tatsuya Ishida draws on influences ranging from Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts to manga and pop culture to bring us a breath of fresh air. If your comic-strip craving hasn't been satisfied since the nineties, deliverance is finally at hand. The first volume of Sinfest collects the first six hundred Sinfest strips, introducing the full cast of characters and the opening installments of Ninja Theatre, beat poetry, calligraphy lessons, and the irresistible Pooch & Percival strips. Web traffic on Sinfest.net averages 1.7 million unique visitors per month and 300,000 page hits per day. Softcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 208 pages, B&W. Mature Readers NOTE: "After seven years and counting, Tatsuya Ishida shows every indication of maturing into a cartoonist on the level of Bill Watterson and Walt Kelly." - The Comics Journal, "50 Excellent Comics from 2007" "The best webcomic out there." -- comicsworthreading.com Cover price $14.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Tatsuya Ishida. Sinfest is BACK, and better than ever! Viva la Resistance features over a year and a half of never-before-collected strips from the webcomic phenomenon that's "head-and-shoulders above the rest [. . . and] superior to most print comic strips, too" (R. C. Harvey). What other series has had the chutzpah to make characters out of God, the Devil, Jesus, Buddha, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, and corrupt Wall Street CEOs? As the Onion's AV Club remarked, Tatsuya Ishida's Sinfest is "irreverent and playful . . . [crossing] lines that few cartoonists would dare toe." Widely acclaimed for both style and content, Sinfest is a frequent entry in critics' "Best Comics of the Year" lists (The Comics Journal, MTV, Comics Reporter, Comics Worth Reading) and just hit its tenth year of serialization. Don't miss it! An entire volume of never-before-collected strips, for the first time since 2005! Web traffic on sinfest.net averages 2.3 million unique visitors per month!

1st printing.

Written by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer. Art by Simini Blocker.

A genie just wants a chance to grant a wish to the frog who accidentally let him out of his lamp-meanwhile, the frog just wants to be left alone. A witch is tormented by the cheerful (and awful) singing of a persistent bard, but when she finally snaps and turns him into a rock, he just keeps on singing-somehow the power of terrible music overcomes all magic. A wizard wants a pet. An ogre just wants to make beautiful art.

Four original, wry, and utterly charming fairy tales comprise this new collection for young readers. With deft, lively text from Nathaniel Lachenmeyer and eye-popping, painterly art by Simini Blocker, The Singing Rock is the perfect read for kids who love a good yarn-and good comics!

Hardcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 112 pages, full color.
