New Releases by Harvey Kurtzman

Created by Kurtzman and Elder, the "Little Annie Fanny" cartoons ran in "Playboy" magazine from 1962 to 1987. This first collection spans the years 1962-1970, taking the controversial strip through the Swinging Sixties with the Beatles, Civil Rights, and the beginning of the Sexual Revolution.

Dark Horse concludes its complete reprinting of Playboy''s legendary Little Annie Fanny strip, with an even bigger second volume, at the same price as the first. Picking up where the first volume left off, this collection follows the strip through to its end in 1988. Ralph Nader, the women''s movement, Star Wars, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all fall victim to the merciless and masterful satire of Kurtzman and Elder.

"Harvey Kurtzman''s Jungle Book is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman, published in 1959. Kurtzman aimed it at an adult audience, in contrast to his earlier work for adolescents in periodicals such as Mad. The social satire in the book''s four stories targets Peter Gunn-style private-detective shows, Westerns such as Gunsmoke, capitalist avarice in the publishing industry, Freudian pop psychology, and lynch-hungry yokels in the South. Kurtzman''s character Goodman Beaver makes his first appearance in one of the stories."--Wikipedia

From his high school days as an up-and-coming cartoonist to his first job through the creation of MAD magazine, Kurtzman tells the story of his career and creations.

For the first time, those rollicking space adventures of Flash Gordon have been collected in one volume, a generously-sized book which reprints the strips from sharp artist''s proofs.

"Two-Fisted Tales was a bimonthly, anthology war comic published by EC Comics in the early 1950s. The title originated in 1950 when Harvey Kurtzman suggested to William Gaines that they publish an adventure comic. Kurtzman became the editor of Two-Fisted Tales, and with the advent of the Korean War, he soon narrowed the focus to war stories. The title was a companion comic to Frontline Combat, and stories Kurtzman wrote for both books often displayed an anti-war attitude. It returned to adventure-themed stories in issues #36 through #39, co-edited by John Severin and Colin Dawkins, with a cover-title change to The New Two-Fisted Tales"--Wikipedia.
