Cover by Howard Nostrand. Stories and art by Howard Nostrand, Nat Barnett and Bob Powell. After the success of MAD, every comics publisher tried their own version of a satire comic with a one-word title, and this was Harvey's. Bandit chieftain Puncho Villa becomes a legend in his own mind as he creates his south-of-the-border empire. A genie in a magic lamp brings new meaning to "Be careful what you wish for." A vampire with a Balkan accent stalks the night. Plus send-ups of contemporary movies, crime and culture. Cover by Howard Nostrand was later selected for the cover of a 2012 anthology, The Sincerest Form of Parody: The Best 1950s MAD-Inspired Satirical Comics. Puncho Villa; Kwikkie Kwizzeroonie; How To See a Bad Movie; Alladin's Lamp-oon; V...- for Wampire; Phony Crime; For the Love of Mike. 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
