BOOK REVIEW
INTRODUCTION BY DANIEL CLOWES: The Mad Playboy of Art is the definitive retrospective of Willl Elder, widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists of the second half of the 20th Century. And one of the funniest.
Elder is best known for his artistic collaborations with Harvey Kurtzman on their most celebrated works: Mad, Trump, Humbug, Goodman Beaver and Little Annie Fanny.....
Every high point of Elder's career mis represented, including stories from Mad, the satirical comic that formally launched Elder's career as a humorist in 1952; Panic, the Mad spin-off also published by E.C. in the 50s, the short lived Hugh Hefner published Trump (1957); Help (1960-65), including five Goodman Beaver stories; three classic Little Annie Fanny stories, reproduced from the original painted art for the first time since they appeared in Playboy.....
This book also includes commentary by Hugh Hefner, Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis, Al Jaffee. Terry Gilliam, William Stout, and Jerry Garcia...
392 pages of crammed full of art and commentary. The artwork covers Elder's entire career, starting in art school. Nothing is overlooked. A must for fans of Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Elder. Sells for: $49.95
