Do not despair: Mad--and EC--live. And Drucker stands like a standard over the entire enterprise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520166762698615097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935781413882655390.post-73489180445962213872014-03-28T19:31:32.996-04:002014-03-28T19:31:32.996-04:00Mort Drucker was my hero since I was a kid in the ...Mort Drucker was my hero since I was a kid in the 60s. I credit him for inspiring me to draw cartoons. When you see my work his influence is obvious.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mort at the 1989 NCS convention in Toronto. He was kind enough to draw a cartoon of Batman for a friend's fanzine. Come to think of it, I'll add it to this article as soon as I find the time.Badohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274725793236103253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935781413882655390.post-55738812807920958912012-11-14T14:53:34.413-05:002012-11-14T14:53:34.413-05:00Great post.

An immense talent who, for the most part, has been totally under appreciated by both art snobs and comic book slobs. mr loserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157259621938917578noreply@blogger.com
