Description: Measures 8-7/16" X 10-29/32", 24 pp including covers -- b&w photos and illustrations -- issue #42 (August 1963) -- published by The Realist Association (NY). Group 15-4901 Both front & rear covers are detached from each other, as well as from the rest of the magazine-- otherwise less than average condition for an "underground" publication of over 60 years, with wear & chipping to edges & corners, plus creases, scratches, indentations, folds, lesser tears, browning pages, rub-wear, soiling, foxing, etc -- overall condition only POOR Years before NATIONAL LAMPOON, a modest little "adult satire" underground magazine was born, the brainchild of PAUL KRASSNER, who had decided that MAD MAGAZINE was becoming far too tame, and that more mature adults needed a more controversial and biting satire publication. Borrowing a few chops from MARK TWAIN, H. L. MENCKEN, JONATHAN SWIFT, AMBROSE BIERCE, WILL ROGERS, WALT KELLY and others, Krassner stirred up the contents, and created THE REALIST in 1958; and, current events being what they are, THE REALIST stuck around until 2001, a couple years after Krassner himself had died. Apparently, no one had informed the magazine of his passing.
