Description

Antonio Prohias - Mad #238, "Spy vs Spy" Page Original Art (EC, 1983). For four decades the diabolical duo, "Spy vs Spy," has appeared in Mad magazine, attracting a wide audience. Their creator, the late Prohias, a political cartoonist who fled Castro's Cuba in 1960, was a font of variations on the theme of having one spy meet a violent death at the hands of the other. In the next issue, of course, the deceased had been resurrected to resume hostilities. This art has an image area of 13.5" x 17", and includes an amberlith overlay, which was used by the printer to lay in tone. This group also includes a small (2.5" x 3.5") photostat of the "Spy vs Spy" logo. There is some aging apparent in the strip and amberlith overlay; otherwise they average in Very Good condition. From the Mad Magazine Archives.
