Lucky Fights It Through

In 1979, Harvey Kurtzman launched this singular comic, a one-shot that stands as a personal, idiosyncratic project from the legendary humorist. Known for his work on Mad and Help!, Kurtzman here crafts a raw, autobiographical satire of his own struggles in the comics industry. Lucky Fights It Through is a fascinating, self-contained artifact—a brutally honest and visually inventive look at a creator’s fight for creative and financial survival. It remains a testament to Kurtzman’s enduring, uncompromising voice.
