Are you looking for great satire and amazing artwork? If so, the Harvey two issue series FLIP
COMICS is for you. In April of 1954 Harvey Comics published their own satire comic series,
FLIP COMICS to compete with the E.C. comicsÕ MAD series. The challenge for Harvey was
E.C. paid well and had a lock on many of the industryÕs best artists. Luckily for them (and
us), two outstanding artists, Howard Nostrand and Bob Powell, were already providing
Harvey art for a number of the comics they were publishing.
Unfortunately at the same time Harvey was publishing FLIP COMICS, down in Washington D.C.
the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency Hearing was being held. Harvey quickly
dropped out of the satire comic game after the second issue of FLIP COMICS was published in
June of 1954, as they tried to tone down their various titles so they would be more in line with
the current political thinking of what comic books should look like.
This volume collects the first two issues of FLIP COMICS plus twenty-five pages of original
artwork, including a five page story that was slated for the unpublished third issue
