Jack Davis of Mad Magazine designed this set!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Jack Davis was U.S. comic artist, best known as a long-running
contributor to Mad
Magazine. He was one of the pioneers during the first four
years (1952-1956), when
Mad was still under editorship of Harvey Kurtzman. He drew various parody
comics and illustrated articles.
Davis was also the first
artist to illustrate the long-running series 'Scenes
We'd Like To See'
(1955). The tireless artist also designed several of Mad's
fake advertisements, as
well as real-life ads to promote subscriptions.
Although Davis left Mad
in 1956, he returned in 1965. Under new editorship of Al Feldstein and William M.
Gaines, he kept contributing comics and
other artwork for Mad
until 1997. Apart from Mad, Davis also contributed to
EC's horror, war, and
suspense comic books. Together with Mad writer Nick Meglin he created the
sports gag comic 'Super Fan'
(1970-1974). Davis is
renowned for his wild, energetic, and chaotic style,
which influenced
numerous creators of humor comics. His drawings explode
with movement, He
excelled in amusing depictions of sports games,
grotesque people, and
monsters. His instantly recognizable art still adorned
many advertisements,
film posters, trading cards, board games, album and
magazine covers. When he
passed away, he was the last surviving pioneer artist
of both E.C. and Mad's
early years.
