    This documents a syndicated comic strip he had in the 60s that was vertical and used no words. The illustration is right on and his composition is incredible. I gave up the link on the amazon page but support your local comic shop. Is Scott's Comics and Cards still in the Mission?

    Love his stuff. Another book that's awesome (and should be republished) is an early 90's collection of Harvey Kurtzman's 'Hey You!'. For some reason it sells used for $$$ right now.
