<span style="font-size: 18px;">I'm working on a series of illustrations that will eventually total 100 full page images of underground comix creators, drawn as they were during that most fertle era of the UG comix scene, the late sixties to the late seventies, From <b>Z </b>to <b>A</b> (<b>ZAP</b> to <b>Arcade</b>), with some stops before and after. To me, this is a natural followup to my two <b>Heroes of the Comics </b>books which both focused on the early creators of mainstream comic books (from the mid-thirties to the mid-fifties), now jumping a decade to the dawn of the undergrounds.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">The American underground comix scene was an egalitarian, counterculture movement that produced iconoclastic and forbidden no-holds-barred comic books and small press publications focusing mainly on formally taboo comics subjects including sex, violence, religion, race, and drugs, and featured comics and graphics produced by some of the greatest artistic talents and satiric minds of the day, most prominently the prolific "spirtual father of underground comix" R. Crumb. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 18px;">I first discovered UG comix and the work of R. Crumb at age eight, back when I innocently thought </span><b style="font-size: 18px;">MAD </b><span style="font-size: 18px;">magazine was as subversive as things could get, and my universe was forever altered: </span><br />

Season two of the Netflix series <b>Dirty Money</b> debuted on Netflix this month with the first episode a profile of President Donald Trump's son-in-law and top White House advisor, Jared Kushner. Titled, “Slumlord Millionaire”, it's directed by Morgan Pehme and Dan DiMauro, who also made the fabulous documentary <b>Get Me Roger Stone</b>. I was interviewed for the episode.<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">I drew over 50 covers for the </span><b style="text-align: center;">New York Observer </b><span style="text-align: center;">during Jared Kushner's ten year reign as it's publisher, and I'd also met him on several occasions, one of which I discuss in the film. I was filmed creating this illustration of Kushner channeling Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, with the exposed picture/painting, Jared's father-in-law Donald J. Trump.</span><br />

I'd thought for years that Jared looked like the young, handsome, emotionless actor Hurd Hatfield, who played Dorian Gray in the 1946 MGM film version, and was toying for awhile with the idea of drawing him posed as Dorian but couldn’t figure out a clever <i>twist</i>. One of the filmmakers suggested that Trump <i>himself </i>be the horrible visage seen in the aging painting hidden away in Dorian’s attic, perhaps as an analogy to what Jared Kushner's soul is evolving into, or, well, make of it what you will. That idea clicked with me, thus the drawing which can be seen in the documentary.<br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times";"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Stan Lee (born Stanley Lieber), was a complex man. He was both worshiped and vilified, and has been described both as a talented and tireless worker and a shameless celebrity spokesman for Marvel comics. He was an imperious comics writer and editor, a persistent self-promoter, and a credit and publicity hog. His public persona was charming, funny and affable, and he was the public face of Timely/Atlas/Marvel Comics for over half a century and probably the most famous man to have ever worked in the comics industry. Comics historian Danny Fingeroth has written a fair-minded, fun, and finally, the essential biography of Stan Lee, chronicling Stan's rise and fall and unlikely early sixties rise again, as Lee, </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Marvel publisher Martin Goodman, artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, and others, ushered in Marvel's unprecidented super hero renaissance.</span></span></div>

His work was some of the most unusually beautiful artwork to ever grace mainsteam comics, and Roger Hill's meticulous biography presents hundreds of examples of Raboy's art as well as a detailed biography of his relatively short life. Beautifully designed by Jon B. Cooke, this book should be on the shelf of every lover of great comic book and comic strip art. Also an excellent introduction by Roy Thomas. Only two photos of the elusive Mac Raboy are known to exist, both of them are included in the book, as well as my full color portrait of Raboy created for my book <b>Heroes of the Comics </b>(Fantagraphics Books)</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times";">Irving Berlin was arguably the greatest American songwriter of the 20th century, his life spanned more than 100 years and his musical output was astounding, beginning with "Alexander's Ragtime Band" up until his last hit "Counting Blessings". Berlin composed the music <i>and</i> lyrics to some fifteen hundred songs. Like Frank Capra, his name was above the title because he earned it. James Kaplan's loving biography details the highs and lows of the brilliant, fiesty, sometimes maddening little Jewish song-plugger from the lower east side who would go on to write "God Bless America" and "White Christmas". It's an intense and glorious page-turner, masterfully written and thoroughly entertaining. </span></div>

Trump. I didn't draw the 45 presidents chronologically, but I did save and draw Trump last, mainly because I just wasn't quite sure how to approach him. I've drawn him many times over the years, beginning in the mid-eighties for the satiric monthy <b>SPY </b>when he was still just a NYC real estate developer, and as his fame grew nationally, in publications such as <b>The New York Observer, TIME, MAD</b>, <b>Fortune </b>and others.<br />
<br />
I drew some initial Trump sketches for my new book which I rejected for various reasons... too goofy, too silly, too buffoonish, etc. My intention with this book was to try not to overtly editorialize, so I finally rendered this portrait of Trump which concludes the book. Make of the expression what you will.<br />

Blemishes, moles, and errant hairs are like stars in his sky.”</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">From the artist hailed by BOINGBOING as the greatest portraitist of our time comes ALL THE PRESIDENTS, a new collection of portraits of every U.S. president, from George Washington to Donald J. Trump, and everyone in between, each rendered in Friedman’s celebrated "warts & all" style, accompanied by vital statistics and fun factoids about each subject. ALL THE PRESIDENTS features a comic strip introduction by the author, and a foreword by Kurt Andersen, author and host of public radio’s Studio 360. Published by Fantagraphics books.</span><br />

Al Kooper, a songwriter ("This Diamond Ring", "I Can't Quit Her", etc), record producer and musician, known for organizing The Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears, providing studio support for Bob Dylan when he went electric (including playing the memorable organ on "Like A Roll<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ing Stone"), and bringing together guitarists Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills to record the Super Session album. In the 1970's he became a successful recording artist, manager and producer, notably recording Lynyrd Skynyrd's first three albums. He's also had a successful solo career, touring and performing live concerts and writing music for film soundtracks and TV shows.</span></div>

Also included are over 130 testimonials by Weirdo contributors and sidebars on all sorts of Weirdo-related aspects of that era, as much a history of the alternative comics of that time as it is the tale of a single magazine. Crumb added that The Book of WEIRDO was "a monumental statement on American culture and life in that dismal decade of Reagan, AIDS, widespread cocaine abuse, and the rise of the Yuppies, the 1980s."</span><br />

<b>A SON OF MAD</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
For the latest issue of <b>MAD</b> (vol 2, #7), I drew this tribute to the 1959 signet paperback cover for <b>SON OF MAD</b> painted by famed science fiction illustrator and MAD's <i>then</i> main magazine and paperback cover artist Frank "Kelly" Freas.<br />
<br />

This singular piece of art was and remains my favorite image ever drawn for MAD by any artist, as I explain in my text below.<br />
<br />
"The Weisenheim Museum" is a new section in MAD where various artists are hired to create a full page image, or images, and discuss MAD's immeasurable influence on their work. I chose to pay tribute to this particular Kelly Freas paperback cover.<br />

<br /></div>
<b>Stan Lee </b>(1922-2018), Born Stanley Martin Lieber, was a complex man. He was both worshiped and vilified, and has been described as a tireless and shameless celebrity spokesman for Marvel comics. He was an imperious comics writer and editor, a persistent self-promoter, and a credit and publicity hog. His public persona was charming, funny and affable. He was the face of Marvel for over half a century and probably the most famous man to have ever worked in the comics industry.<br />

I got to know Stan when I was a young kid in the early to mid 1960's. My dad was a magazine editor at Martin Goodman's "Magazine Management" publishing company, and he shared an adjoining office with Stan for a decade, between 1954-66. Mario Puzo's editorial office was also nearby. My brothers and I would often visit and I always made a beeline for the Marvel comics offices, where Stan held court. He couldn't have been nicer to me, like a favorite uncle handing out candy, although in Stan's case, brand new Marvel comic books. Stan took a liking to me, especially after he learned I liked to draw cartoons. He'd often exclaim "Someday Drew is going to draw for MARVEL!". That was not to be although I did intern at Marvel for a week at age 14 in 1972 as part of a school work-study program. Stan was still as kind and attentive to me as ever.<br />

Last night, 9/9/18, I spoke at the very funny and very touching memorial for the author, playright, artist, teacher, and longtime MAD magazine editor Nick Meglin, at the SVA theater in New York on West 23rd St. The evening for Nick's family and friends to celebrate this much-loved <i>Mensch</i> was organized by Charlie Kochman and Nick's family members.<br />

Speakers included Dick DeBartola, Sam Viviano, John Ficarra, Grant Geissman, John Reiner and Angelo Torres, as well as Nick's wife Linda Maloof and various members of Nick's family. I spoke about having Nick as a figure drawing instructer at the School of Visual Arts in the late seventies, and later doing work for him at MAD. The evening also included several of Nick's TV appearences, including the famous 60 Minutes MAD profile, as well as several songs Nick composed for the theatre that were performed. <br />

The evening's program booklet was designed by Sam Viviano<br />

Lon Chaney, Jr was a wonderful horror movie star and character actor. My friend, the crazed comedian and fellow classic horror-film fanatic Gilbert Gottfried agrees, in fact Gilbert has gone on record that Lon Chaney, Jr is his <i>favorite </i>actor. He even has a Chaney, Jr. life mask on display in his apartment. Gilbert and I would watch Chaney, Jr in countless films back at my small apartment in the East Village in the eighties, (I had an early VCR and Gilbert lived near-by). At that time I had acquired a fairly large collection of vintage schlocky VHS horror films, including one of our favorites, <b>The Manster, </b>aka <b>The Split. </b>but Gilbert usually insisted on films with Lon Chaney, Jr. So, until my wife Kathy would return from work in the late afternoon, we would both sit in respectful silence and watch, and re-watch <b>The Indestructible Man, The Cyclops, The Haunted Strangler, Dracula vs Frankenstein, </b>or the <b>Route 66 TV episode “Lizard’s Leg and Owlet’s Wing”, </b>which we enjoyed for the conclusion: When Boris Karloff is finally in his old Frankenstein makeup, and Chaney, Jr is once again transformed into the Wolfman, the best they could come up with for Peter Lorre was to have him donning a top hat.<b> </b>Chaney, Jr. went on record as being proudest of portraying <b>The Wolfman. </b>He felt, unlike the Frankenstein monster or the mummy, that he <i>owned</i> the Lawrence Talbot/Wolfman character because no other actor ever played him. I’ve always felt he had a great face, especially as he aged, sad, weary, expressive and unlike his father, didn’t really need to be covered over with heavy makeup, although he no doubt felt the urge to continue the Chaney tradition. My painting features Chaney, Jr sans makeup, baggy-eyed, red-nosed and bloated, after his fortunes had turned, but with the horror movie actors seemingly never-ending desire to send chills down your spine. Old comedians <i>still</i> want to make you laugh. Old horror film actors <i>still</i> want to make you scream.</div>
