Jack Davis was born on Decemin Atlanta, Georgia. Davis has worked in virtually every area of commercial illustration, including movie posters, advertising campaigns, album covers, magazine covers and illustrations. Shortly thereafter he began his decades-long association with MAD, where his humorous, over-the-top style meshed perfectly with MAD s zany irreverence. scripts quickly made him one of the line s most popular artists. The juxtaposition of Davis s cartoony style with the grim and at times gruesome E.C. on their horror, war and suspense titles.
It was in 1951 that he began working for E.C. After serving in the Navy, Davis enrolled in night classes at the Art Students League and began working on The Saint syndicated newspaper strip. Barne- og ungdomsbøker for motvillige lesere.

He drew some of the best monsters including the classic Frankenstein which was made into a life-size cut out poster (see below). He was one of the original ‘usual gang of idiots’ from US MAD’s inception in the 50s, a regular on Tales From the Crypt, producing the cover for the later issues, as well as war comic Two-Fisted Tales and a ton of other EC Comics. Where do you begin with Jack Davis? I first saw his work in the UK versions of MAD magazine in the 80s but he had been producing countless numbers of comics, illustrations, record covers and film posters for decades before that.
