Buried Alive! or, Dig That Crazy Body!

Of all the nutty tales I've posted at this blog over the years, this one from the July 1954 issue of Nuts #3 has got to be the most--well, --nuts! Over the top, super funny writing, and hilarious artwork full of sight gags and Mad For Your Money moments, yes sir, they don't quite make 'em like this anymore. Enjoy! :)

Marvin’s Monster

Pre-code lovers know the name Hy Fleishman for a very good reason; his top notch 50's horror work for infamous titles such as Dark Mysteries and Mysterious Adventures contain some of the absolute best, most visually gruesome stories ever. But what if Hy took a stab at horror parody, you ask? Look no further than right here… the man is an obvious genius in the MAD-esque vein as well.

From the March 1954 issue of Nuts #1

And for another great parody from this issue of Nuts #1, head over to Chuck’s Comic Book Catacombs today and see how A.C. Hollingsworth skewers Dick Tracy!
