When iconic 'Mad Magazine' illustrator Jack Davis launched his career in the early 1950s, he made a name for himself drawing nightmarish images for EC Comics titles such as 'Tales From the Crypt.' But ask the 88-year-old artist today how he felt when he was creating these ghastly cartoons, and he reveals a side of himself that may disappoint hardcore gore groupies. 'Oh, I didn't particularly care for it.'
Starting today, Mondo Gallery in Austin is hosting an art exhibition, featuring work that pays tribute to 'Tales From the Crypt,' both the comics and the TV show. In an interview with Collectors Weekly, Davis gives the inside scoop on his horror-comics beginnings.
