One of MAD's original "Usual Gang of Idiots," Bill Elder may have been MAD's most versatile artist, able to mimic any other artist's style while still retaining his own "chicken fat" approach to cartooning. This new title collects all his work from the original 23 issues of the MAD comic book, all written by Harvey Kurtzman, including hilarious takes on Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, Wonder Woman, Archie Comics, Popeye, Mickey Mouse, the Shadow, Dragnet and much more. Collects stories from MAD #1-23. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Of all the artists Mad employed, Will Elder was the one most concerned with realistic backgrounds, their contrast with the foreground humor only adding to the hilarity. Spaceships, cityscapes, weather, medieval castles- it didn't matter; every scene had to be rendered in the most realistic manner possible, which is why his renderings of Mole, Dragnet, and Sherlock Holmes work so well.
Elder employed a broad range of techniques which enabled him to mimic other illustrators to an incredible degree. The most striking examples of this occur from 1954 to 1955 in Elder's renderings of Gasoline Valley, Mickey Rodent, The Katchandhammer Kids, and Poopeye.
Issues #21 and 22, in 1955, showcased Elder's talent for creating realistic looking advertisements which, upon closer examination, were anything but.
As with the other books in this series, Nick Meglin provides valuable biographical material on Wood.
At 206 pages, this is by far the largest collection devoted to any of the three artists in this series (Wood, Elder and Davis). ( )
