Irreverent cult classic delivered in style By Dan Pace (feral atom) Collects Not Brand Echh 1-13 (10 reprinted stories from previous issues of the title). Besides 406 pages from the issues, we also get a 31 pages of extras. The light-hearted tales that appeared in other Marvel titles are also included. From Spider-man Annual #1, "How Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Create Spider-man", fromn Daredevil Annual #1, "At the Stroke of Midnight", from Fantastic Four Annual #5, "This is a Plot?", from Sgt Fury Annual #4, "Gary and Dick Up Front", from Avengers Annual #2, "Avenjerks Assemble!", from Spider-man Annual #5, "Here We Go-a-Plotting".Also included are the Bullpen Bulletins announcement of the title, three 1967 house ads, another informative introduction from Roy Thomas, production photostats from Not Brand Echh #3 "Charlie America", original Marie Severin pencils from NBE #8 with margin notes, unused Marie Severin cover for NBE#12 (redrawn faces and moved characters), original page 3 from NBE #12 showing Charlie America accidentally burning the flag with a cigarette. Instead a shot of Charlie peeling potatoes was used. Finally, all four covers of NBE reprint title Crazy are shown at quarter size, including the unpublished #4.For those unfamiliar with the title, Not Brand Echh was a humorous take on super-heroes. The title was a word-play from comparison commercials that used the ubiquitous "Brand X" out of fear of naming their rival and giving them free advertising. In Marvel letters pages and Bullpen Bulletins, they would playfully refer to DC as "Brand Echh", as well as the "Distinguished Competition". NBE takes the DC jokes to an extreme and often has others in the flow of stories, such as "Decidedly Cross" and "Diabolically Called".NBE is revered for its irreverence. I've read letters pages referencing some of the in-jokes from it. Irving Forbush was a fictitious office go-fer referred to in the letters pages and sometimes in the creator credits. In NBE, he's finally "shown" (except his face is never revealed). He now becomes "Forbush-man" and has a series of misadventures at the expense of our other super-heroes in satire.As for the content, I think the first 2 or 3 issues start out a bit slowly. They were good but not as good as what followed.Issue 1 has the Fantastical Four facing Doctor Bloom having stolen the Silver Burper's powers (lampooning FF 57-60), Too-Gone Kid with the Ghostly Rider, Kid Cold, Rawhead Kid and Madd Hogg, the Human Scorch vs the Sunk-mariner (poking fun at Marvel Mystery #9 from 1940) with added guest-star Chaplain America, and, to round out the issue, Sgt Furious.Issue 2 gets other companies' characters on the hot seat, featuring Spidey-man meets Gnatman and Rotten, Magnut Robot Biter vs Ironed man, and Knock Furious, Agent of S.H.E.E.S.H. meets the Blunder Agents.Issue 3 started a run of thematic issues with this one being a retelling of origin stories for the Mighty Sore, the Inedible Bulk, and Charlie America.Issue 4 features "the bad guys win", with Electrico and Scaredevil, Krank and Prince No-More, and Magneat-o vs the Echhsmen.Issue 5 has the Origin of Forbush-man, Revengers vs Charlie America and Thung vs Bulk. Gene Colan does an amazing job on the Revengers story. Throughout this collection, his artwork is top notch.Issue 6 features an all-romance collection, with Human Scorch marrying Gristle of the Unhumans guest-starring Sandyman, Dr Deranged and Wotta Woman in "Best Side Story", and Spidey-man's secret love in "With This Ring I Thee Web". All of these are hilariously well-done.Issue 7 is another Origins issue, this time showing extra-length tales of the Fantastical Four and Stuporman. This issue is awesome. Stuporman is an excellent take on the man from Kreepton, paying slight homage to the MAD #4 story "SuperDuperMan". (To tell the truth, I like the Marble Comics version better.)Issue 8 is probably my favorite issue, with Forbush-man trying to join a super-team in a framing story. He first tries the Revengers when Dang the Conqueror attacks. Next, he attempts to become an Agent of S.H.E.E.S.H. while they go up against the Yellow Paw. In the last tale, he tries out for the Echhsmen with Magneat-o, Toadstool, Slicksilver and the Scarlett Wench. The Beatles make an appearance as well.Issue 9 started a run of Giant-Sized 68-pagers (for only 25¢!!) has Sunk-mariner vs Bulk, Casey at the Bat with Bulk filling in for Casey, the Mean Hornet (which I might have enjoyed more without the bald racism for Plato), Super-Hero Greeting Cards, Boney and Claude, Arch and the Teen-stalk, and Captain Marvin vs the Scent-ry. I liked the first and the last two, with the others not really resonating with me.Reprint #10 has the cover and "this is a contents page?" reproduced.#11 has King Konk 68 (with the FF, Revengers, and Phantom Beagle guest-starring), Superhero Daydreams, Knock Furious (lampooning Steranko's work), It's a Mad, Mad Ave, Puns of Will Bonnett, Ivanshmoe, Sunk-mariner vs Aqualung Man, Spidey-man, Autie Goose Rhymes, and "How to be a Comic Book Artist."#12 has Comiclot with Sore and Spidey-man, Puzzle pages, Unhumans done in the style of Sunday's comics, Sgt Peppers double page spread album cover and two pages of lampooned lyrics, the Revengers with a fourth-wall breaking "serious" page done by Big John Buscema, Charlie America's Family Album, "My Search for True Love" with Medoozy going through Hollywood more times than Elizabeth Taylor, Marble's own Drawing Lessons pages, and Frankenstein sicksty-nine.The Sunday's Comics versions of the Unhumans was my favorite story in NBE. The artists and writers did a fantastic job of capturing the original strips look and feel. Is the art really all done by Tom Sutton? If so, he did a remarkable job, in my opinion.The last issue contains the Origin of the Simple Surfer, Liltin' Limericks, Who Says a Carnival Has to be Good (chock full of Marble heroes), Guess What's Coming to Dinner with Bulk and Mangrok, Cheap Shrills album cover, some fake ads, Rent-a-Super-Hero, Dr Deranged vs Deadpan, Bill Dubay and Stan Lee collaborate on "Adult Super-Hero Daydreams", Marble Valentine's cards, and the Return of Forbush-man as a fitting end to close out the title.Once again, Marvel outdoes itself in high-quality production and restoration of classic comics, presenting to us a trove of comics and cultural history. If you're a fan of MAD and super-heroes, I highly recommend getting this Masterwork.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. FORBUSH FOREVER By hudd KIRBY, Heck, Colan, Marie Severin, and the whole Bullpen go superhero crazy in this long-awaited omnibus of satire, farce, and plain ol' FUN. It's a feast of hyperbolic art and way-out weird wonder, with jabs at Wally Wood's T.H.U.N.D.E.R. B.O.Y.S. ; digs at Russ Manning's robot-munchin' man of the future; as well as bustin' the Batguy , slammin' Superdude, and jumpin' on the whole Justus League at DuhC. However, those marvelous maniacs always dished out their malicious mayhem with the most gusto to those merry-marching morons at Marvel itself. Now you young pups may not get all the political and cultural allusions from those groovy days, BABY, and find the" humor" rather lacking; however, the artwork alone is worth the trip. And for the comic fanboy historians out there, these are the FIRST EVER -MULTIVERSAL- INTER-COMPANY CROSSOVERS in the entire history of comics in the known universe. 'nuff said. Excelsior. NO-PRIZES not included. Bazinga!
