My first exposure to Jack Davis was his many cover illustrations for TV Guide in the '70's. Then one day I found out he did comic books too upon seeing his name on an old Rawhide Kid in a Marvel western comic.
About the author
Jack Davis (1924-2016) was a founding cartoonist of MAD and one of the most in-demand caricaturists and cartoonists in the world throughout his 60-plus-year career. Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2003.
Before creating and writing the all-time greatest satirical comic, Harvey Kurtzman (1924-1993) had already been the only humor cartoonist given full editorial freedom by Stan Lee and created and wrote the first serious war comics in an age of heroic jingoism. After revamping MAD from a comic into the all-time greatest satirical magazine, he went on to create and write the most widely read adult comic strip (with "Little Annie Fanny" in Playboy ) and write and draw one of the earliest graphic novels (with the 1959 The Jungle Book ). He continued to work in magazine and book publishing his whole life, with an eye for talent that gave leading cartoonists of the 1960s undergrounds and the 1980s alternative comics movement their earliest opportunities. Since 1988, one of the two major awards programs in American comics has been given annually in his name.
