Reprinting the legendary Harvey Kurtzman masterwork, Two-Fisted Tales entirely issues #18-41 in b/w with beautiful color reproductions of the original covers inside, on hardcoverbooks & slipcase covers. The first edition of Two Fisted Tales (#18) was assembled by Gaines and Feldstein. The Korean War witnessed a transformation from adventure with the 2nd issue. H. Kurtzman became editor & writer.
