"The Realist was a magazine of "social-political-religious criticism and satire", intended as a hybrid of a grown-ups version of Mad and Lyle Stuart's anti-censorship monthly The Independent. Edited and published by Paul Krassner, and often regarded as a milestone in the American underground or countercultural press of the mid-20th century, it was a nationally-distributed newsstand publication as early as 1958. Publication was discontinued in 2001."?Wikipedia / Comics (Graphic works), Lampoon, Satire, Periodicals, Periodicals, Political satire, American, Political satire, American Periodicals, Underground comics.
