Product Description
Love Harvey Kurtzman's original MAD? Then you will have to have Ross Andru and Mike Esposito's historic satire and parody magazine, Get Lost! Originally released in 1953, Get Lost! delivered three ground-breaking, laugh-filled issues before Bill Gaines sued the magazine's distributor, shutting down production of the magazine. Even though Gaines lost the lawsuit, Andru and Esposito never produced more issues of Get Lost! Hermes Press' historic reprint collects all three issues of the magazine on heavy coated paper together with essays from noted comic book historians together with tons of documentary material. Our archival edition of MAD's most noteworthy competitor reproduces Get Lost!'s covers in full color and is a treasure to behold for fans of MAD as well as comic book collectors, fans and anybody looking for a good laugh.

When Mad became a success in the early 1950s, other comic book publishers decided to publish their own satire comics. As far as I know, Get Lost is the first Mad comic book imitator to be reprinted. It was created by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, who are probably best known for doing war comics for DC Comics. All three issues of Get Lost are reprinted here. The stories are mostly parodies of movies, books and comics. Some of the movies parodied include Shane, Hondo and The Thing. Other parodies include Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde, Flash Gordon, the Invisible Man and Robin Hood. Some of the parodies are funny, some of them not so much. Of course, if you aren't familiar with the thing being parodied, you probably won't understand the parody. Everything is very well drawn, anyway. This will probably be of interest only to fans of the old Mad comic book or fans of Andru & Esposito.

I've read everything MAD, so I wanted to see how an early competitor stacked up to the early MAD. No competition! The artwork is excellant, but the humor is almost none existant and the written word is tedious to read. The production quality is excellent. Great coloring.
 Great fun, a worthy Mad compeitior October 25, 2008
Love it! Beautiful book, the colors pop and the art looks brand new. Clever and well done, just a joy.
