Mad Style Guide #4: Angelo Torres
.
As requested long ago, here are more pages from the very rare Mad Style Guide, which I edited in 1994 with Joe Orlando, then the associate publisher of Mad. Needed were images that could be used on T-shirts and other merchandising. I walked uptown to a T-shirt shop at Sixth Avenue and 57th Street with a copy of Mad and had the cover imprinted on a T-shirt to show a prototype to the DC Licensing Department. Joe came up with the idea of having Angelo Torres do b/w ink copies of past Mad cover paintings. The Mad #58 cover is by Kelly Freas, and Mad #238 is by Jack Rickard.
Production of the Mad Style Guide was by the designer Judy Reiser, author of a series of books on irrational human behavior (And I Thought I Was Crazy). For more, see her website.

Jack Rickard (1922-1983) is known for his Mad covers and his movie posters. But here's a jazz painting and other work by Rickard. Pauline McPeril was his 1966-67 comic strip with Mell Lazarus, who scripted under the pseudonym Fulton. Pauline was a secret agent. Note that Alfred E. Neuman and Lazarus' Miss Peach characters have walked into the Sunday strip. When Pauline McPeril came crashing down, Rickard drew himself and Lazarus at work.
