I also scanned in a batch of Wolverton stuff from off of my bookshelf. I also recommend the books WOOLVERTOONS and POWERHOUSE PEPPER from Fantagraphics Books. Search "Wolverton" You won't be disappointed. 
Probably the first Wolverton image many of us ever saw. For me, it was love at first sight. (MAD #11 May 1954) 
These were scanned from one of the many reprints of Mad's fifties era material. 
1974 reprint cover for BARFLYZE. 
Cain slew his brother Abel.

The shadow on the right edge is due to my scan and not on the original drawings.
