Bughouse (Ajax)

    (Ajax, 1954)
™ and © Ajax

When E.C. made a huge splash with their Mad comic book, there were a zillion different imitations that sprang up in short order. Ajax publications were responsible for two of them: this title as well as Madhouse. It is not very distinguished stuff in comparison to the inspirational material, and typical of many of these satire, parody, humor titles, they had a very short lifespan making them highly collectible today. These type of comic books are a good source of checking the pulse of what was going on and what was considered important during the mid-1950s.
