DESCRIPTION
Painted by EC/Mad artist Jack Davis. A humorous promo image for "The Hero" TV show starring Richard Mulligan. 15.5" x 17"This piece is charactertistic of Jack Davis' unparalleled line work. Besides the impressive foreground painting of Richard Mulligan and the oversized cartoonish title, the background is so filled with Davis' signature gestures and movement that each image could stand alone as a piece of art.
From Lambiek.net: Davis continued comics work for Atlas Comics (1958-1963), as well as Playboy ('Little Annie Fanny' stories). But by this time, he mainly focused on illustrating bubble gum cards, movie posters and display advertising. He also worked as an illustrator for magazines like Cracked, Loco, Crazy and Panic. He did covers and illustrations for TV Guide and Esquire and cooperated with Harvey Kurtzman on several works for Trump, Humbug and Help!. Davis continued to do some comics in the horror genre for the magazines of Warren Publishing in the 1970s. In 2000, the National Cartoonists' Society gave him the Rueben Award for Best Cartoonist of the Year.
