World's Weirdest Comics Pt. Deux

I’m calling this Part Deux, because it seems a bit overdeux. (ha ha)

HOW TO SHOOT Published 1952 by Remington Arms
Is your kid a loser? Is he convinced that all his classmates and his teachers hate him? Go ahead, make his day, -- buy him a .22 shotgun. The friendly old-timer who “hosts” the comic makes helpful suggestions ie; Hollow point bullets can practically obliterate objects as hard as cocoanut shells!




LOS NOVIOS #6 November 25, 1968
Nacho and his buddy Cheforo are internationally renowned body builders and under cover Mexican spies. Naïve Nacho falls for gorgeous Russian bikini model Olga Tigresova. He perceives her breasts as being mango-like. He kisses her while she’s wearing poison lip gloss. Will he die? Buy next week’s thrilling issue to find out! In “Colores sicodelicos!”


KONA #5 March 1963
Dr. Dodd and his family are castaways on an uncharted, monster infested island. They find their champion in the person of blond haired Tarzan type Konos. In this, the most bizarre issue, Konos battles Amsat, a 30 foot tall nuclear mutated kitten. This was before The Goodies “Kitten Kong” episode. This represented something of a break through in publishing as it was the first time a comic book ever depicted a man-eating pussy.



P.S. The Preventative Maintenance Monthly Published by the Dept of the Army.
This long-running Army publication used sexy cartoon girls and the comic book format to promote equipment maintenance. Several issues were produced by legendary creator of “The Spirit”, Will Eisner. By January 1972 it was already up to issue 230. Apparently it is still published, but with the US military now made up of 15% women, the cheesecake has gone by the wayside.
Body paint on the centerfold above includes the legends; “Twist commo switch gently”, “Over revving blows engines”, “Test that part – know before you throw”, “Gasoline is not for cleaning, “radio modules – put ‘em back” & “Pencil PM is a bummer”.
