Jack Davis was one of the founding cartoonists for Mad in
1952. His cartoon characters are characterized by extremely distorted anatomy,
including big heads, skinny legs and large feet.
His work is iconic for advertising art, magazine covers,
film posters, record album art and numerous comic book stories. He was inducted
into the Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003 and also received the National
Cartoonists Society’s Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.
