Earlier today, I listed some of the men who drew comic books in the forties (or before) who are still with us and, in most cases, still active in the industry. I hadn't intended my list to pass for complete, and adding the following still won't make it complete but here are some more, along with the year in which I believe they did their first comic book or comic strip work: Sam Glanzman (1939), Joe Giella (1945), Al Jaffee (1942), Al Feldstein (1947), John Cassone (1940), Roger Armstrong (1940), Dan Spiegle (1949), Jerry Grandenetti (1946), Sy Barry (1945), Joe Edwards (1942), Ric Estrada (1949), Frank Frazetta (1944), Al Williamson (1948), Harry Harrison (1947), Bill Lignante (1949) and Lee Ames (1940).
And of course, once you get into the early fifties, there are a lot more: Steve Ditko (1953), Jack Davis (1950), Ramona Fradon (1950), Dick Giordano (1951), Mike Esposito (1952), Angelo Torres (1954), Mort Drucker (1951) and a number of others. It's kind of amazing to realize that the first issue of MAD was published almost 55 years ago and of the four stories in that first issue, three were drawn by men who are still around.
