The Art of Harvey Kurtzman: The Mad Genius of Comics

Coming soon....



















"One of the leading artists in American satirical and adult comics... Kurtzman's skills as a writer, artist and editor brought a witty and profound perspective to comics and magazine publishing. The book will include pencil sketches, layouts, inked drawings, colour compositions, correspondence and hundreds of never-before-seen photos and art from the Kurtzman archives."

You can pre-order it on on amazon.co.uk for £10, which includes delivery. Hopefully the book will include a few strips like the one's shown below (found on John K Stuff's blog, where there's also a nice essay on Kurtzman's use of movement):

































































To any publishers who might be reading this : please, please, PLEASE consider reprinting "Hey, Look!"
