Lana #2

In "Veteran Trouper!", Harvey Kurtzman's sharp wit takes center stage as a character flips through a newspaper and stumbles upon a chain of satirical cartoon takes-offs—each a playful parody of a famous strip, from Shm'il Shmabner’s folksy antics to Shick Shmacy’s hard-boiled detective style. With Kurtzman handling every aspect of the art, inking, and lettering, the issue delivers a clever, self-aware comic strip within a comic, all in the distinctive style of a 1948 publication.
