You have to really be into obscure comic book credits to know the name of Al Kurzrok. He worked briefly for Marvel around 1970, mostly as a letterer but he also wrote a few stories for them, including five issues of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, a couple of western stories and some other things that never saw print. He also worked for a time for Harvey Comics…and even I'm not all that sure what else, if anything, he did — though I know this obituary gets his comic book credits all wrong. Most interesting is that he left that world behind, went into Psychology and occasionally tapped into his old skills to advance his new career. (I found out about all this via Tom Spurgeon's fine news blog, The Comics Reporter. Tom also has up a drawing of R. Crumb which I guess is the drawing that goes with the L.A. Times article just mentioned.)
