SUNDAY FUNNIES!! Marvel & Mad's POTSHOT PETE

click on images to enlarge.

When Harvey Kurtzman was starting his cartoonist career freelancing he sold these cartoons to Stan Lee who was a young editor at Marvel Comics.  He bought them for fillers. Stan, through the years, has proven he knows talent when he sees it.




I don’t know what legal transaction transpired but I understand that Kurtzman, a few years later, recycled the same cartoons into MAD comicbook when he was editor of it. These cartoons by HK were in MAD #18.
