Sergio Aragones

In my opinion one the most unappreciated cartoonists of our time is Sergio Aragones. Sergio has been drawing comic strips and single panel gags for over 50 years and his enthusiasm, creativity and love of laughter has never waned. If anything his talent keeps getting stronger and his output more prolific.

Sergio came to this country over 50 years ago and immediately found work drawing cartoon strips. MAD magazine’s editorial staff recognized his talent and he has continued to draw full strips, features and his famous ‘border strips’ for MAD since then.

In MAD’s Greatest Artists Sergio Aragones: Five Decades Of His Finest Woks, readers get to witness the evolution of an artist and his impressive collection of work-a fraction of which is present in this Running Press hardbound collection.

Discover for yourself the sheer genius of Sergio as he demonstrates his uncanny ability to create cartoon gags with little or no words. You’ll be amazed at the huge crowd scenes he draws with each individual character finely defined and taking part in their own humorous situation.

The book contains an impressive library of work both in black and white and color. I strongly urge you to pick up this book not only for its art but the hours of hilarity and laughter it will provide as you look over each and every drawing.
