Volume 8 - 1st printing. "Snafu!" Collects Snafu Vol. 1 (1955) #1-3. Written by Stan Lee, John Severin, Bill Everett, and Joe Maneely. Art by John Severin, Joe Maneely, Howie Post, Russ Heath, Howie Post, Marie Severin, and Bill Everett. Cover by Joe Maneely. When Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Gaines launched ECs Mad comic book as a warmly received satirical magazine, a flood of imitators soon filled newsstands, but the first and best to follow in Mads footsteps (coinciding with the second issue of Mad magazine) was Snafu, edited and written by Kurtzmans former boss: Stan The Man Lee! Snafu was packed with Marvel/Atlas top humor creators and, following the Mad playbook, filled pages with ad and news spoofs, alongside film, television, and book parodies like The Blackboard Forest by Russ Heath, Pete Kelseys Booze and Bleed, You Bum! by Joe Maneely, Drugnet by Howie Post, Emily Toasts Etiquette Page by John Severin, and Snafus Lovely Ladies by Bill Everett, with production supervised by Marie Severin. Seen here is some of the most eye-popping work of Maneelys short life, including great Hollywood caricatures done in a wash style. In this new volume in our Atlas Library collaboration with Marvel, Fantagraphics is tickled pink to present for the first time, the complete Snafu collection along with a history of Martin Goodmans humor publications in all genres by editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $39.99.
