[Longhorn Review] The art of Harvey Kurtzman : the mad genius of comics

Material Type: All, Books — Tags: — Posted on October 16, 2009 at 3:31 pm

By: Kitchen, Denis

Thank Harvey Kurtzman for Mad Magazine, if you are old enough to remember when it was good, or if not, for The Simpsons whose creators were influenced by him as youths. Or whatever hilarious subversive satire the kids are reading and watching these days. He was a subversive genius when it wasn’t so lucrative.
