Jack Davis and a Ha-Ha Halloween


Here are some Halloween laughs from one of the world's best cartoonists. Jack Davis is an artist with an unmistakable style. He made his reputation in Mad comic books of the 1950s, but went into advertising art, famous for movie posters and record album covers, among other things, like these bubble gum trading cards.

These funny monster cards came out in 1959, published by Topps Chewing Gum, under the name Bubbles, Inc. Topps also did the infamous Mars Attacks gum cards in 1962.
