Nuts #5, 1 of 2

The fifth issue of Premier Magazines' foray into the humor comics genre, Nuts!, from November 1954.

Note the attempt at chicken fat without having the slightest idea what's supposed to be funny.
Parody of The Caine Mutiny. Artist unknown.
Captain Marvel had been litigated out of existence by that point, though he was still considered ripe for parody. Unlike many of the other artists on this book, this one(s) obviously knew what made the style perpetuated by Kurtzman and Elder work. According to Grand Comics Database, the artists might have been Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.

Get Lost #3, 2 of 2

This was the final issue of Ross Andru and Mike Esposito's Get Lost from July 1954 continuing from the first half last week.

This must have taken forever to draw. It was later reprinted in their ill-fated comeback Up Your Nose and Out Your Ear.

Get Lost #3, 1 of 2

Here's one of the many fly-by-night humor comics in the wake of Mad. This one lasted three issues, the average length of many of these comics. This was one where the publishers, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito, were also the artists. This issue is from July 1954.
Parody of Hondo
Parody of The Thing From Another World.

Get Lost #2, 2 of 2

The second half of yet another humor comic from May 1954.

Apparently publisher/writer/artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito would put more than pseudonyms on stories so it would look like there were several contributors and not just themselves, as they did with this EC parody.
This was most likely also pseudonymous.
