This book examines the career of the creators of "MAD" and "Little Annie Fanny", in his own words. This is the only reference book available about one of pop culture's true legends. The seventh volume in this distinguished series focuses entirely on one of comics' most esteemed and influential creators: artist, writer and editor Harvey Kurtzman, whose complete "Comics Journal" interviews are collected in this oversized, lavishly illustrated full-colour edition. Every stage of Kurtzman's career is represented, beginning with his entry into comics via superhero stories for Ace from 1943-46 ("Mr Risk", "Lash Llightning"), World War II-era Army cartoons, early humour work for "Timely and Toby Press" ("Rusty", "Pig Tales", "Genius" and "HeyLook!"), his first collaborations with John Severin and Will Elder at "Prize Comics Western" and, of course, his groundbreaking period at "EC" as editor of "Two-Fisted Tales", "Frontline Combat" and "MAD". Kurtzman's underservedly less-known post-"MAD" career at Trump, Humbug and Help! is also given its due and examined in depth.
