Hey Look! Full-Color Scans of Harvey Kurtzman’s Late 40’s Masterpiece

Harvey Kurtzman is my biggest cartooning inspiration, and his “Hey Look” one-pagers are my favorite examples of his hilarious work.

The book collection of these comics is out-of-print, and selling for upwards of $80, but lucky for us, Chris at Comicrazys has posted some beautiful full-color scans of these late 1940’s cartoon masterpieces. These panels are just a random assortment of some of my favorite Kurtzman drawings. Make sure to click over to :

Secret Harvey Kurtzman Comic Book Activity Page from 1949

These pages aren’t signed, but they’re certainly the work of  genius cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman!
I came across these pages while flipping through dozens of comic scans…looking for some cool comic oddity to share on the blog. But THIS! *swoon*

Based on the ever-evolving  cartooning styles during Harvey Kurtzman’s pre-MAD “Hey Look” comics, I’d peg these as being drawn around 1947.

From “Little Aspirin” #1 July 1949 The Little Aspirin comic was published in 1949, but I’m betting these filler pages were sitting around for a couple years before they were published.
