Review

"Fantagraphics, the exemplary Seattle-based archivists of comics and comic-strip history, couldn't have lavished more care in restoring HUMBUG's yellowing pages had they been original Shakespeare folios."

"[T]he dawning of contemporary satire in a box."

"[F]or dry cocktail laughs and low schoolboy snorts, it's hard to think of a better pair of books to have at your nightstand."

Publisher's note

A complete collection of the lesser-known series's eleven-issue run from 1957 to 1958 offers insight into the MAD founder's satirical creativity and includes art by such cartoonists as Will Elder, Jack Davis, and Al Jaffee.

Annotation

Best known for Mad magazine, for a brief--but all things considered not insubstantial--11 months Harvey Kurtzman put out Humbug, working with some of the era's great satirical artists and writers: Al Jafee, Jack Davis, Will Elder, Arnold Roth, and Larry Siegel, among others. This two-volume set collects all 11 issues and includes some classic bits (like a FRANKENSTEIN spoof and Jafee's judo gag), some deliciously dated pop-culture riffs, and even some political comedy, which provide a real sense of the landscape of the time.
