☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Invisible Mr. Mann," three unlikely storytellers—The Sewer Keeper, The Garbage Keeper, and The Old Hag—take turns spinning a tale that leaves them all unwell. Amidst eerie whispers and creeping dread, a vampire lady and a ghoul find love in isolation, only to face a slow, haunting starvation. Penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Mike Esposito, this 1954 Mikeross Publications gem delivers a chilling, surreal experience with a cover by the same duo.
John Q. Sparrow finds himself on trial for the murder of Cock Robin, facing a seemingly airtight case built on eyewitness testimony and the prosecutor's damning reconstruction of events. With his fiancée devastated and the jury ready to convict, Sparrow's fate hangs in the balance—until an unexpected arrival turns the entire courtroom upside down. A clever feathered comedy that plays the murder trial premise for laughs, complete with all the courtroom drama you'd expect, just with birds.
In "The Sewer Keeper," three unlikely storytellers—The Sewer Keeper, The Garbage Keeper, and The Old Hag—take turns spinning a bizarre tale of a vampire lady and a ghoul who fall for each other, only to be stranded and slowly starve. As their story unfolds, each of the three narrators begins to fall ill, their fates mirroring the grim fate of the lovers they describe.
"S.S. Gigantic" is a hilarious send-up of disaster-picture excess, parodying the overblown Hollywood spectacle of shipwreck epics with a cast of thousands (mostly fish) and a skipper whose weight becomes unexpectedly consequential. When radio reports warn of icebergs in the area, the ship's captain dismisses the danger as old wives' tales—setting the stage for a comedic reckoning at sea. This one-pager from 1954 captures the absurdist humor Get Lost specialized in, complete with mock-serious movie-poster hyperbole and pratfalls aplenty.
This delightfully twisted take on the legend finds Robin the Hood facing an unexpected crisis: he and his merry band have robbed the rich so thoroughly that there's nobody left with money to steal. When a desperate scheme to pivot toward the poor backfires spectacularly, Robin finds himself outmaneuvered by a sharp adversary with her own ambitions—leading to a proposal that entangles our outlaw in complications far more binding than any sword. A satirical romp that proves even the most legendary rogue can't outsmart modern bureaucracy.
