In today’s first link, our buddy Jerry Beck alerts us to the possible beginnings of a movement to preserve pioneering cartoonist Winsor McCay’s one-time majestic home in Brooklyn, now hanging on as a nightmarish insect-infested “Hell House.”

In 1961, Dell produced two issues of YAK-YAK, a magazine closer in style to Harvey Kurtzman’s then-recently failed HUMBUG than to a standard comic. The good news was that all of the art in both MAD-like issues was by MAD’s own mainstay, Jack Davis. Here’s issue one.

Gene Bilbrew was an African-American artist with whose work I was not familiar. Apparently he started out as an assistant to Will Eisner and then worked with Eric Stanton which led to his creating various bondage and fetish comics. TEN CENT DREAMS, of all places, presents a nice selection of some of Bilbrew’s kinkier, Bill Ward-inspired, paperback covers from the sixties.

Finally today, here’s my favorite Disney superhero, SUPER GOOF, with 1965′s issue two of his long-running series, offered in two parts from MAGIC CARPET BURN.
