The forgotten Kurtzman

Before MAD creator Harvey Kurtzman edited HELP! Magazine for James Warren, he did this issue of FAVORITE WESTERNS OF FILMLAND, in 1960. The explanation is here:

From THE WARREN COMPANION (2001):

FAVORITE WESTERNS OF FILMLAND #1, May 1960

Edited by Harvey Kurtzman, his first job for Warren, under the pseudonym of Remuda Charlie Stringer. This was a combination of humorously captioned photos and reasonably straight articles on movie or TV Westerns in the Famous Monsters vein. Kurtzman presumably wrote the bulk of the material. This was the second magazine put out by Warren Publications.

This is part 1, and part 2 will be this Thursday. Tie your cayuses to the hitching post, pards, drop into the Long Branch for a whiskey and a little slap and tickle with Miss Kitty, and we’ll see you in a couple of days.

My thanks to Dregs for posting this issue online.
