filmlover Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Frank Frazetta's humor movie poster may have been more stylish. Al Hirschfeld's wonderfully characterish. But nobody produced a more-detailed and fun movie poster than Jack Davis, who is best known for his MAD work. *Bananas* MORE TOMORROW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbaetz Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Jack Davis was the first artist I ever became aware of as a teenager. I was a a rabid fan of E.C. comics. My friend and I use to take the subway to Lafayette St. where their office was and there we met Gaines and Jack Davis and Wally Wood.. I remember we could buy back issues of Mad comics { before they went mag. } and Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt and Frontline Combat and all the rest of E.C. comics for 25 cents. We had almost every issue published. God, those were the days.. Don't forget Davis also did "Kelly's Heros" and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" posters and then he did a Mad Mag cover called "It's a World World World World Mad"... What a TALENT... :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wow, that's incredible, getting to E.C. in their heyday. So much envy I have for you. And you got to meet Wally Wood! When I was in my early teens, he was my favorite artist at the time. And, yes, those titles are coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
