Comics: Kurtzman's Comic Books
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about comics.
Today, Kent Butterworth stopped by on his lunch break to watch Terry Bears cartoons featuring eye popping Jim Tyer animation. I realized that it's been a while since I posted any comic book scans from Kent's great collection of golden age funny animal comics. I'm righting that wrong right now with some great examples by Harvey Kurtzman. Enjoy! (Thanks Kent!)
If you enjoyed this post, check out our first article on Kurtzman & Elder's Little Annie Fanny Part One and Part Two. Also see... Milt Stein's Supermouse Comics No. 4, Milt Stein's Supermouse (Coo Coo Comics No. 7) Dan Gordon's Superkatt, Jim Tyer's Comic Books, Harvey Eisenberg's Foxy Fagan and Boodi Rogers' Babe Comics.
Thanks

Thanks for the amazingly sweet treats! Thanks also for scanning them so beautifully. Cartoon art like this deserves to be looked at in hi-res! It's always a shame when someone takes the time to scan great lost treasures but neglects to set the scanner at a decent resolution. THANKS to Steve and to Kent for these gifts...and please keep em coming!
PS...there are lots of great "Comic book reader" applications available on the web to make archiving and reading comic pages on your computer a more pleasant experience. I recommend "Comic Book Lover" for Mac, but there are many others if you google the term. It really helps you get more mileage out of these swell downloads.
Kurtzman as a "funny animal" artist? Who'da guessed?
And they're so unique and appealing, too!
Thanks, as always, for sharing...
