Harvey Kurtzman's Jungle Book
Author: Harvey Kurtzman
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
ISBN: 1616555637
Category : American wit and humor, Pictorial
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Harvey Kurtzman's Jungle Book is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic books of all time, and was voted into the 'Top 100 Comics of the 20th Century' by The Comics Journal. Written and illustrated by Kurtzman in 1959, Jungle Book takes a satirical swipe at the cultural monoliths of the day: detective shows, Western movies and the publishing industry in general. Equally unafraid to take on social issues, Kurtzman also satirises the lynch-hungry mobs still prevalent in the South, and the nascent rise of the Freudian movement within popular culture.
