Flip #1, 2 of 2

The rest of Harvey Comics' fly-by-night attempt to cash in on the parody genre. Every publisher seemed to have one (this one came out in April 1954) and they all came around the same time and lasted two to five issues.

The first story by Howard Nostrand is influenced by V-Vampires in Mad #3. Nostrand had a knack for drawing in the style of other artists but did so without swiping anything directly from the stories.

This and the next story are by Bob Powell . Between him and Howard Nostrand, they did many of Harvey's titles entirely by themselves.

Flip #1, 1 of 2

This was Flip,Harvey Comics' entry into the parody genre. The first issue here was published in April 1954. I previously posted the second issue, the only other one, a few years ago.

The cover and first story are drawn by Howard Nostrand.

Not sure who drew this, though.

Cracked #147, 2 of 4

Here's the second part of Cracked #147 from December 1977. The first part was posted last week.

This piece looks familiar, like I posted it before. I try not to post things more than once, but since Cracked was notorious for repackaging things every two years, I figured I could follow their tradition and do the same.
