Snafu is a short-livedsatiricalcomic book published byMarvel Comics in the mid-1950s.[1][2] One notable contribution ofSnafu is that it introduced the character Irving Forbush, the alter ego ofForbush Man (created byStan Lee).[3]Snafu was an attempt to duplicate the success ofMad magazine, which had much greater success and longevity.[4]
The only three issues ofSnafu were published in November 1955, January 1956 and March 1956, respectively.[2][5]
Personnel who worked onSnafu included Stan Lee (the primary writer)[5] and artistsJohn Severin,Bill Everett andJoe Maneely.[2]
Ten years later, when Stan Lee wrote promotional text for the new Marvel Comics line, he started dropping the name Irving Forbush as an in-joke. In 1967, Forbush was embodied inNot Brand Echh asForbush-Man.[6]
