Mort Drucker's Medal of Honor

The legendary artist Mort Drucker was the first recipient of the National Cartoonist Society's new Medal of Honor.

Mort received the medal at the NCS convention's banquet in Washington, DC in late May, 2015. I was delighted that my portrait of Mort, created for my recent book "Heroes of the Comics" was used for the poster to herald the event.

NCS president and MAD artist Tom Richmond blogs about Mort Drucker recieving the award here:
