The COMEDY of JACK DAVIS The Comedy of John Severin Volume 1

Heard about Mad? Sad? Don't be! Get GLAD with this new two volume collection of rarely seen art by two of their greatest illustrators done outside their work at Mad magazine. The books are 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 John Severin and Jack Davis were at the top of their game as creators. There are TV and movie parodies, tons of celebrities, along with satire on current events, trends and culture of the era, all in glorious vintage black & white!
