Classic Kurtzman

Connoisseurs of the great Harvey Kurtzman have posted some of his journal comics over at The Comics Journal board, including one where Kurtzman is sent to Ireland to follow James Cagney as he prepares for a role in his next big film.

Interesting to see Kurtzman depict himself in such a deprecating manner. Journal comics never change. Inspiring stuff.

    hey jeff – i guess i just meant it might be a change to see an artist depict themselves as cool and infallible. journal comics tend towards the warts.

    Too True…

    But most of the time, people doing the comics are all warts and no cool.
