fictionmags@yahoogroups.com, Paul Di Filippo noted and
passed along:

comics. Beautiful
and

...and among the illos is the initial page, from NUGGET, of
an unsubtle lampoon of skin-magazine publishing by Ray
Russell, before his PLAYBOY run, presumably.
Also, the first citation of R. E. Decker's name sounded
familiar, and I eventually remembered his association with
AHMM, after leaving MANHUNT and Flying Eagle.
The bits about Flying Eagle's prosecution in New Hampshire
and the infamous Wertham "the children told me what he would
do with the poker" panel are worth the look...as is the
account of the arguable first graphic novel...
