Spy Vs Spy Masters of Mayhem (Mad) - Softcover

These books celebrate both the famous MAD magazine cartoon and its Cuban-exile creator--showcasing the author's genius as an artist, storyteller, and graphic designer--and revive episodes that have been lost to the public for more than four decades.

Antonio Prohias was an award-winning and influential political cartoonist in Cuba. Once Castro seized control of the free press, Prohias fled from Havana and settled in the United States. Soon he presented a “captivating cartoon of a friendly rivalry” to MAD magazine. It has gone on to become one of the magazine’s best-loved features. He died in 1998.

John Ficarra earned a BA in journalism from NYU in 1976. He was hired as an assistant editor of MAD magazine in 1980 and became editor in chief in 1984.
