Jack Davis

Jack Davis was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1924. He began drawing at an early age, and by the time he was a teenager, he was selling his art to local magazines.

In 1948, Davis moved to New York City, where he began working for EC Comics. EC Comics was a pioneer in the horror comics genre, and Davis quickly became one of the company's most popular artists.

Davis's work for EC Comics was often controversial. His stories were often gruesome and violent, and they pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in comics at the time.

In 1956, the Comics Code Authority was created, and EC Comics was forced to tone down its content. Davis continued to work for EC Comics for a few more years, but he eventually left the company to pursue other projects.

In the 1960s, Davis began working for Mad Magazine. Mad Magazine was a humor magazine, but Davis's work for the magazine was often dark and macabre.

Davis continued to work for Mad Magazine until his death in 2016. He also worked on a variety of other projects, including illustrations for books, magazines, and movies.
