Snafu #2, 4 of 4

And here we are with the final installment of Snafu, one of Marvel's many attempts underone of their tax shelter companies, to cash in on the success of Mad. This issue, written entirely by Stan Lee, is dated January 1956.

They did a lot of one-pagers like this to pad the issue.

Parody of this particular ad campaign that was drawn by Whitney Darrow.

This back cover parodying The New Yorker duplicates the stok image from the front cover.

Snafu, 3 of 4

Not much to say about this issue of Snafu that I didn't say the last two weeks, other than this was drawn by Stan Lee and drawn by Joe Maneely and John Severin.

Crazy #5, part 1

While I feature parts of Snafu on Mondays, I'll have parts of Crazy on Wednesdays, another of Marvel's comics humor magazines. I've shown some of the other issues, this is the fifth from April 1954. Both were relatively simple in content, just different formats to compete with the prevailing format of Mad. It was also written by Stan Lee.

The cover here was by Carl Burgos.
