It also published Sad Sack, the military comic strip, which was created by George Baker.
Beginning his career at the age of 15 drawing advertising cartoons each week for 5 dollars,[3] he then took a job at Fox Comics in the winter of 1939 with Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, and eventually became managing editor.
He then joined World War II in 1941 at The Pentagon with Kirby, and he noted Harvey as an "eager type".
He was in a coma since 1989 and died at age 80 on July 4, 1994, from heart failure, according to his sons Alan and Russell[5][6] at a New Rochelle Hospital, and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
