Pow Magazine #1
“Super Hero Confidential”
"Super Hero Confidential" in Pow Magazine #1 (1966) delivers a delightfully satirical take on superhero culture, presenting fake letters from readers—lifted from publications like Lifee, Saturday Evening Pest, and Newsweak—with absurd, joke-filled responses. With sharp, deadpan humor and two spot illustrations by John Severin, including one likely borrowed from Cracked Magazine, the issue captures the irreverent spirit of 1960s humor comics, all drawn and inked by the legendary John Severin on both interior and cover.
