RIP Al Feldstein

[RCMerchant]

Al was the editor of MAD magazine from 1955 untill 1984-but most recall him from his insane art-like this









Rest well,Al-your art was a BIG inspiration for what I do.

That s**t is amazing.  Cheesy subject matter but done with panache and 100% commitment.  You don't see that much these days.

[BoyScoutKevin]

He certainly had a distinctive style of art.

R.I.P. Al!

That's a bummer. MAD Magazine was a must read when I was a kid in the 70s. In addition to loads of the magazines, I had tons n' tons of the Super Specials, reprint paperbacks, etc.

[Umaril Has Returned]

I had all of those issues in re-print. The first cover art you see had a hideous story about a kid addicted to heroin and a very sad ending. The story, if I remember, was called "Monkey On My Back".   

My favorite EC  cover was the one with the guy with the meat cleaver in his head coming back to life as a zombie and confronting his killer.  Truly classic artwork, and on par only with the underground artwork of Eerie publications magazines such as "Weird" and "Tales From The Tomb."

What a way to warp!

YES!!! Remember this little tale of decapitation? My mother saw this one when I was little and took the magazine and threw it in the trash. Didn't stop me from finding it later at a local farmer's market a few years back 

Anyway, I present to you in all it's B&W gory (or umm..glory)  I Chopped Her Head Off!

Ha ha, so you too have fallen under the spell of Eerie pubs, eh, old friend?

Here's a nice page that has some reprints, one of which, "The Thing In The Cellar" was one of my faves, and one I still have in my surviving set of magazines.  Enjoy!

Oh,me,too! MAD was so much a part of my childhood.
