Angelo

Angelo Torres began drawing comic books in the mid-fifties and he's still at it. He worked for EC Comics and other firms, often collaborating with folks like Al Williamson, George Woodbridge and Frank Frazetta. In the late sixties, he went to work for MAD and drew 282 articles for them, making him the mag's ninth most-prolific contributor. (In case you're interested, Al Jaffee holds the title of Most Prolific MAD Contributor, though some guy named Sergio Aragonés is on target to bypass him in the next year or so.)

If you are at all interested in the work of Angelo Torres, get thee over to this page on his website and spend 36 minutes watching My Dinner With Angelo, a delightful film that was made in conjunction with a recent exhibit of his work in New York. I could embed it here but I'd like to see his site get all the hits…and while you're over there, browse around a little. The length and breadth of this man's talents have not been properly recognized. Nice guy, too.
