THIS IS HELP! - THE MAGAZINE WITH "KISSIES"
OVER 200 PAGES OF BALONEY – ALL SLICED UP INTO LITTLE PIECES!
HUMOR – SATIRE – PARODY – SOCIAL COMMENTARY – POP CULTURE ENTERTAINMENT
For a series that lasted a scant half decade (roughly 1960-1965) HELP! Was critical to the evolution of humor and entertainment in America. It was populated by some of the top writers in the world, including Rod Serling, Algis Budrys, H.G. Wells, and of course the founder Harvey Kurtzan himself. The illustrators were a Who's Who of the day, including Kurtzman, Al Jaffee, Jack Davis, John Severin – to name but a few. Nothing was off-limits, whether for the sake of a laugh or to poke serious fun at the world itself. It was the most sophisticated and yet irreverent publication of its genre, and while it was never profitable, it was always cutting-edge. It had some controversy, including a parody "Archie Goes Playboy" which resulted in two legal actions and a promise never to reprint the story again (but we never made that promise, so you WILL find it inside)! Like many early 60s Warren publications, the copyright missed its renewal putting it into the public domain.
