As with the other EC creators, someone whose work I've enjoyed and respected as long as I've been collecting. Very sad news.

A true legend.

One of the best.

RIP Mr. Davis

[Mystafo]

Very sad news...may he rest in peace and condolences to those who knew and loved him.

 

Tales 37 and 46 are two of my absolute favorite EC covers...were on my "had to own" list from the beginning of my interest in PCH. Sad day

Rest In Piece Mr. Jack Davis. I have always adored your work. Some day I will find a prized copy of Mad #2 that I have always wanted. Your memory will live long.

Wow all the greats are leaving us R.I.P

 

No, I believe the last surviving EC artist Marie Severin.

One of my favorite comic covers -- Two Fisted Tales #30, with standout dramatic artwork by Jack Davis:

Man, that sucks. He was one of my favorites and I knew this would come. So much classic work in several mediums. Many people know his work without knowing who he was. The ones that pop to mind first are MAD #2, Two Fisted Tales #30 and the two all Davis issues of Yak Yak. None of which I have photos of in my bucket.

 

Another piece of my youth gone...

 

Rest in piece Jack and say Hi to Bill, Wally, Johnny, Al,Ghastly and the rest of the boys for me...

Isn't Angelo Torres still with us too?

[Hap Hazard]

A sad day for EC/Mad Fans and comic fans in general very prolific artist. I grew up seeing his art in many places Mad magazine, TV guide, Time magazines, movie posters, record albums, cards the list goes on.

Here's two pieces of original art, FrontLine Combat: Stonewall Jackson! and a story board piece for a Alka-Seltzer comercial.

I admired his work decades before I knew his name, his artistry was so memorable and comfortable that gave you a sense of friendship. My condolences to his family, rest in peace Jack you were one in a million and you made it look so E.C.

Yes, Angelo Torres is still with us and he did ink a few of the EC comics stories.

Very sad -- another all-time great who was very easy to take for granted back in the day...
