Not Sold Description
Jack Davis Humbug #9 page 10 Original Art (Humbug, 1958). After leaving Mad over an ownership dispute, Kurtzman and his crew went to work for Hugh Hefner. When Hef closed the humor magazine Trump down during a cost cutting crunch, Kurtzman then formed an artists' collective made up of himself, Will Elder, Jack Davis, Al Jaffee and Arnold Roth to publish Humbug. Creatively, Davis and the others were at the peak of their powers. This prime Davis page has an image area of 10" x 14.5". Each panel was cut out and glued to a piece of backing board. Some of the pasted-on captions are loose, and some have glue stains; otherwise, the art is in Very Good condition. A tearsheet of the page is included in this lot.More information about Jack Davis.
