Adele Kurtzman, R.I.P.

 


This is the front cover of BIJOU Comicbook #8, drawn by Harvey Kurtzman (1924-1993).  BIJOU was an “Underground” comic with contributors like Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Skip Williamson,  more.

Harvey Kurtzman created MAD Comicbook and MAD Magazine.  He also created EC War comics, three other satirical magazines, and PLAYBOY’s ANNIE FANNY cartoon.

The underground comix artists held Harvey Kurtzman is high regards.  They said Harvey Kurtzman was the father of underground comix.

Kurtzman demanded a blood test.

 

Harvey Kurtzman’s wife, Adele recently died, within the past few days.  I don’t have the exact date.
