A good representation of the type of excellent art that was a part of the early years of HM. Work by Moebius, Richard Corben, Philippe Druilliet, Vaughn Bode and a number of others make every page a feast for the eyes in concept and design. This is how good comics can get, folks. 

  

MONDAY MORNING MACABRE NO. 47

This cartoon original art, parodying the master of macabre parody himself, Gahan Wilson, is from THE HARVARD LAMPOON before it evolved into THE NATIONAL LAMPOON. The artist is Draper Hill, who was an editorial cartoonist for THE DETROIT NEWS. The gag line is spot on Wilson, too.
