History of Mort Drucker in Comic Book Art

Mort Drucker was a comic book artist and caricaturist, best known for his work with MAD Magazine. Drucker was a contributor to MAD for over fifty years, specializing in caricatures of celebrities and lampooning popular films and television series.

His earliest work in the industry was being an assistant to Bert Whitman, while working on the newspaper comic strip Debbie Dean in 1947.

Drucker then moved to DC Comics on a recommendation from none other than Will Eisner, where he was hired on as a retoucher. Around this time he was also ghost drawing on Paul Webb's gag panel for Esquire magazine.

Drucker quit DC as a staff member during the early 1950s so he could freelance for a number of other publishers like Dell, Atlas and St. Johns.

Drucker began working for MAD Magazine in 1956, where he would stay for the next 55 consecutive years, making him the magazine's longest-running artist in their history. In addition to that, Drucker wrote over 400 articles for the magazine as well.

Drucker would also work for DC during his tenure at MAD, illustrating DC's The Adventures of Bob Hope comic book and illustrating select issues of War Stories.

He published the JFK Colouring Book, collaborating with humour writer Paul Laikin in 1962, which would go on to sell 2,500,000 copies. He would publish similar colouring books later of Ollie North and Ronald Reagan.

Drucker would also illustrate promotional posters for films like Universal's American Graffiti, as well as album cover art like for the Anthrax album State of Euphoria. His artwork has also been featured in Time Magazine and the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution.

Mort Drucker has won numerous awards for his career, including the National Cartoonists Society Special Features Award in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988. He also won their Reuben Award in 1987. He was the recipient of the Inkpot Award in 1996. In 2010, he was inducted into the Eisner Award Hall of Fame and in 2017, the Society's Hall of Fame.
