Two-Fisted Tales #35
In "Robert E. Lee!", Harvey Kurtzman's sharp wit meets Jack Davis’s bold art in a darkly comedic take on a pivotal moment in Civil War history. As Rebel troops march toward Chancellorsville, a bumbling soldier named Goober-Head becomes obsessed with looting dead Union soldiers—until his reckless actions set off a chain of chaos. The story’s biting satire and vivid storytelling are brought to life by Davis’s dynamic pencils and inks, with Marie Severin’s colors and Ben Oda’s lettering adding to the period authenticity. Cover by Jack Davis.
