Author Information

Joe Orlando (1927-1998; Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, 2007) became one of EC's top science fiction/fantasy illustrators in the early 1950s. He freelanced for Mad and Warren Publications in the 1960s. In the 1970s, he edited House of Mystery, Phantom Stranger, Swamp Thing, Plop! and other titles for DC Comics, where he later became a vice president. John Powers Severin (1921-2012; Will Eisner Hall of Fame, 2003), who had a realistic comics style, specialized in war, western, and humor comics. One of Mad's founding artists, he worked for with Cracked magazine for forty-five years. George Evans (1920-2001) worked as a World War II aircraft mechanic, which informed his depiction of all kinds of airplanes in breathtaking aerial acrobatics. He was the regular artist on the newspaper strip Secret Agent Corrigan (a.k.a. Secret Agent X-9) from 1980 until his retirement in 1996. Wallace Allan Wood (1927-1981) is widely considered to be America's greatest science fiction cartoonist, but he was also one of the brightest lights of the early Mad comic and, later, a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine witzend.
