On the occasion of the release of a new collection of his work, Newsweek profiles one of the great artists of our time.
The Art of Harvey Kurtzman, however, makes even Little Annie Fanny artistically fascinating, with a brilliant set of tracing-paper pages showing the development of a spread from a first pencil layout to the finished product. But the book also does something else, something much better: it makes hilariously and beautifully clear the overarching talent of Harvey Kurtzman. To paraphrase one of Kurtzman's laughably blunt magazine covers: don't buy those other hoity-toity art books. Buy this one instead.
You know, if you have any money.
