Friday Fun CRAZY "Tales from Aesop's Stables"

Here's a never-reprinted example of horror humor...
...from one of Atlas' several MAD clones, Crazy V1N7 (1954)
Despite the title, this piece written and illustrated by Howie Post was not part of a series!
Well, perhaps it was!
But since this was the last issue, no other installments were ever seen!

Friday Fun RIOT! "Guillotine!"

Sometimes you find something so weird, you just have to show it to others!
This never-reprinted cover and story from Atlas' RIOT! #1 (1954) are two such examples!
Illustrated (and possibly written) by Howie Post.
This tale proves that, with Atlas doing several MAD comic clones at once, even the most talented of creatives could find themselves stretched thin!

Friday Fun CRAZY "Tales from Aesop's Stables"

Here's a "Happy Halloween" treat: a never-reprinted example of horror humor...
...from Atlas' Crazy V1N7 (1954)
Despite the title, this piece written and illustrated by Howie Post was not part of a series!
Perhaps it was, but since this was the last issue of one of Atlas' three simultaneous MAD clones, no other installments were ever seen!

Friday Fun CRAZY "Spencer the Censor"

With all the recent discussions regarding on-line censorship...

...we have to ask; what sort of person actually does the censoring?
Sadly under-appreciated comics creator Howie Post illustrated (and likely scripted) this never-reprinted feature from Atlas' Crazy V1N5 (1955)
(Note: The "V1" is because this was the first of Atlas/Marvel's attempts to use the title "Crazy" to match EC's MAD, either in color comic or b/w magazine form!
They tried again in the early 1973 with another short-lived color comic which reprinted material from Not Brand Ecch, but finally succeed with a b/w magazine which ran for 94 issues from late 1973 to late 1983.

Monday Mars Madness WILD! "Menace from Mars"

Most of the time, a Martian invasion story should be taken seriously!
This never-reprinted tale from one of Atlas' many MAD! comic clones, WILD! #2 (1954) is not one of those tales!
Though we know the talented and versatile Howie Post illustrated the story, nobody knows who wrote it!
But it reads a lot like Stan Lee...
