Since Quentin Tarantino and Jimmy Kimmel showed this off on the Kimmel show last night, MAD officially released the cover of #9 on Twitter today so I can share it here. Art by me but if you are looking at it and thinking “those look just like Jack Davis feet” you’d be right… I was instructed to channel Jack as part of the whole retro early 60’s vibe. There’s a lot more story to all this but I have to wait until the issue comes out to spill it. READ MORE

San Diego Comic Con was so crazy I forgot to take pictures of all but a couple of the commissions and drawings I did for people. Above is one of the many sketchcovers I did during the show, and below is a “live” style caricature of Mark Hamill as “The Joker” from Batman: The Animated Series. READ MORE

To misquote Mark Twain: “The report of MAD‘s death have been greatly exaggerated” Many news outlets are reporting that MAD is done as of issue #10. That is not the case, and my post yesterday made it very clear that the magazine would continue to publish with issue #11, but would feature new cover art and interiors with reprinted classic material as opposed to all new material. News stand distribution will stop, and the magazine will only be available through current subscriptions and via the direct market (i.e. comic book shops). That is all 100% confirmed as of this writing. That said, these officially stated… READ MORE

I just go back from 13 days in Europe where I thought workshops in Amsterdam and Switzerland, enjoyed some between time in the former and sweated a lot. Here’s one of the warmup sketches the class and I did in Switzerland… UK politician Boris Johnson. READ MORE

I’m still in Amsterdam having just taught a workshop last weekend and then traveling on to Switzerland for another this weekend, so this week is going to be a “MAD Flashback” week where I’ll post looks at some stuff I’ve done for the magazine and for other projects for the MAD guys and DC comics. For a few years MAD published these perfect-bound “bookazines” that revolved around different themes and contained reprint material. I did a few covers for these including this one for “MAD Spoof’s the 80’s”. Everything was done digitally on this except for the spot caricatures on the squares, which I did… READ MORE

There won’t be any posting going on here for a while, I’m afraid. Crunch time. READ MORE

Well… okay. Not really “battle” damaged like your favorite action figure variation, but sort of. Books bought wholesale for brick and mortar stores can be returned if unsold within a certain timeframe. Sometimes these returned books come back with a crease on the cover, a bent corner, a little wear on the spine… very minor damage that does not reduce the readability of the book at all, but does preclude the distributor from selling it again as “new”. I picked up a limited supply of these returned but lightly damaged copies from my distributor the other day, and am selling them for a mere $9.99!… READ MORE
