Title: TWO-FISTED TALES No. 28
Place Published:
Publisher:Entertaining Comics
Date Published: August, 1952
Description:

F/VF (7.0). Flat, clean mag kept from NM grade by three flaws: staple rust; cover miscut; tiny, nicked bump bottom corner. Tan to cream pages. Harvey Kurtzman cover. Art by Davis, Wood, Severin, Severin/Elder. Kurtzman biography: "...Genial, modest, tireless, hard-working, rapidly-risen star of the comic industry.... Harvey's editing, writing, covers, and lay-outs brought a fresh, new approach to comics, and other publishers quickly began to copy (even TRACE, in many instances!) his unique presentation."

Mine blows up, wounded men fly. The airborne wounded are superimposed over the logo, a Kurtzman touch eschewed by Feldstein, in whose designs the text almost always stood inviolate. In contrast to Feldstein's logocentricity, Kurtzman preferred a more integrative approach to words and pictures.
