“Art for Scrapper's Sake”

In "Art for Scrapper's Sake," a down-on-his-luck artist teams up with a slick art dealer to trick Scrapper into believing he's a visionary surrealist, all in pursuit of a quick profit from gullible collectors. Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art by Kirby and inks by Arturo Cazeneuve, this 1943 tale blends wartime satire with a clever twist on fame and deception, all capped by a striking cover by Kirby and Cazeneuve.
