Best Cartoons Selected by the Editors of True, the Man's Magazine

From 1955 to 1964, Crest Books released three issues of Best Cartoons Selected by the Editors of True, the Man's Magazine, a digest-sized comic that collected raucous, single-panel gags from the pages of the men's magazine True. The series is most closely associated with cartoonist Virgil Partch, whose distinctive, loose-lined style and risqué humor dominated the collection. Offering a curated slice of mid-century bachelor-pad comedy, these issues preserve a snapshot of the era's magazine cartooning, stripped of narrative and focused purely on punchlines.
