Quickie X-Maz book reviews

The Art of Harvey Kurtzman

You probably own this already, but if you don't, go buy it! It's got pictures from every stage of the man's carreer (including some very humbling work he did in highschool), and several fascinating sections that illustrate his meticulous creative process. An education for any cartoonist!
Lucky in Love

I get the idea that Stephen DeStefano's studied his Kurtzman. He's one of the best and most stylish cartoonists working these days and I loved every panel of the new graphic novel he created with writer George Chieffet.

That's amazing, i ran into this exact same book today at the "Feria del Libro" (Book Festival) in Buenos Aires, it was calmly waiting between Crumb and Spiegelmann's works!
