Playboy's Little Annie Fanny

Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder, the legendary team behind Mad and Help!, brought their signature satirical and lavishly detailed artwork to Playboy with Little Annie Fanny, a long-running color comic strip collected here in a single 1972 issue from Playboy Press. The series follows the misadventures of its voluptuous, naive title character as she navigates a world of comic eroticism and social parody, with Elder’s meticulous, crowded panels and Kurtzman’s sharp, absurdist humor making it a landmark of adult-oriented comic art. This collection preserves the strip’s early years, showcasing the duo’s influential blend of cartooning and magazine illustration that helped define Playboy’s visual identity.
