RIP Jack Davis

[Hepcat]

Very, very sad. Jack Davis was a true legend in the field and perhaps my favourite comic artist of all time.

The man could draw like nobody's business, that's for sure !

I haven't seen those before. Some superb art there.

[Bunky Brian]

Rest in Peace sir, thank you for all the laughs, awe, stunning work you did

[Robot Man]

He always seemed to make the scariest moments funny. He drew the friendliest monsters. Plus his work trancended mere comic books to music, advertising, sports and politics. Many people didn't know him by name but recognized and appreciated his art style. He was a big part of my childhood and will be truly missed...

Here are some comics and magazines from my own collection featuring Jack Davis cover art:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jack Davis also did all kinds of artwork for Topps including these 1959 Funny Valentine cards:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the original art to one of the cards from the 1959 set framed up on my wall:

 

 

The 1960 Funny Valentine A set was perhaps even nicer:

Great stuff Hepcat! Never even heard of those Funny Valentine's cards before (mine was the Wacky Pack generation), but they are a laugh riot!
