This HEY LOOK! series is unique for a few reasons: (1) They are by my hero Harvey Kurtzman; (2)They were in a previous comicbook publications edited by Stan Lee. (Young editor Stan Lee, nephew of the comicbook company owner) decided to give young starving freelance artist Harvey Kurtzman a chance, or some crumbs, so he published them as "fillers" which doesn't pay as much. Also since they didn't pay as much they did not claim it was their intellectual property, in other words they had no copyright, but Kurtzman, rightfully, grabbed it for his own.
Harvey Kurtzman is considered the father of Underground Comix. When Kurtzman heard that he jokingly demanded a blood test.
