| Mort Drucker 1929, cartoonist, best known as a decades-long contributor to Mad, specializing in satires on the leading feature films. Drucker entered the comics field by assisting Bert Whitman on Debbie Dean in 1947 when he was 18. He moved on to do a syndicated newspaper gag panel, The Mountain Boys. He then joined the staff of National Periodical Publications (DC Comics), where he worked as a retoucher. Early in the 1950s, Drucker began doing freelance work. In the fall of 1956, shortly after the departure of Mad's founding editor Harvey Kurtzman, Drucker found his way to Mad. His debut there coincided with a World Series broadcast, and publisher Bill Gaines told Drucker that if the Brooklyn Dodgers won the game, he would be hired. The Dodgers did win. Capricious though Drucker's alleged audition process may have been, it made for a good anecdote. More than a half century later, Drucker held the longest uninterrupted tenure of any Mad artist. During the same period, Drucker pursued assignments in television animation, movie poster art and magazine illustration, including covers for Time. His album covers include art for the pop band Bears and the heavy metal band Anthrax. In addition to books collecting his own work, he has provided illustrations for numerous books by others, including children's books, humor books and satire. He drew the prop cartoons used in the 1957 Broadway musical comedy, Rumple. He also remained active for DC, illustrating War Stories, among other titles. Beginning in 1959, he spent four years drawing DC's The Adventures of Bob Hope comic book. In 1962, Drucker teamed with the prolific humor writer Paul Laikin on the highly successful JFK Coloring Book (Kanrom Publishers), which sold 2,500,000 copies. His film posters include Universal's American Graffiti (1973). Between 1984 and 1986, Drucker collaborated with Jerry Dumas on the syndicated daily comic strip Benchley. Set in the White House, it followed the adventures of presidential aide Benchley. |
