Heard about Mad? Sad? Don't be! Get GLAD with this new collection of rarely seen art by one of their greatest illustrators, done outside their work at Mad magazine. The book is a treasure trove of rare humor comics mostly unseen for over 30 years from the pages of Mad's #1 competitor, Cracked magazine. They are curated by two folks with Cracked bona fides, Mark Arnold, author of the definitive two volume history of the magazine If You're Cracked, You're Happy!, and Mort Todd, the former Editor-in-Chief of the magazine during one of its most creative periods.

The comics presented are from the 1950s and 1960s during the title's early years and while Jack Davis was at the top of his game as a creator. There are TV and movie parodies, tons of celebrities, along with satire on current events, trends and culture of the era.Bhob Stewart, author of The Life and Legend of Wallace Wood, has an in-depth overview of the career of the artist in The Comedy of Jack Davis. The book features an afterword by Mort Todd reflecting on Davis and the magazine's legacy. The Comedy of Jack Davis is 100 pages, all in glorious vintage black & white!

The book features a gorgeous array of his work, showcasing the many mediums they work in, from pen and ink, wash, guoache, duoshade paper, zipatone and color paintings as they applied it to tweaking a variety of amusing topics.

Also available: The Comedy of John Severin.
