The Comics Journal Library #7

Part of Fantagraphics' respected Comics Journal Library series, this seventh volume puts the spotlight squarely on H. Kurtzman, celebrated in bold, hand-lettered style across a clean white cover. A tiny cartoon character in the corner — pink-bodied and indignant, exclaiming "Hey! This is no good!!" — hints at the wit and irreverence that made Kurtzman such a singular voice in comics. At $19.95, it's an inviting entry point into the kind of in-depth critical conversation the Comics Journal does best.
