I know, I'm late, but I only just found out that Al Jaffee died this year. He had a stunning career, and only retired at 99!!! I loved MAD magazine as a kid and his contributions, but it took reading Wikipedia just now to find out what kind of a genius he was. R.I.P.

The art in this book is *spectacular*, styled a bit like those ultra-busy #AlJaffee *#MADMagazine* spreads, or the #MossEisleyCantina, or the wild alien scenes from #BenHatke's YA classic #ZitaTheSpaceGirl kids' graphic novels:
But *Justice Warriors* is grosser, busier, and more frenetic than any of them. As Bors describes it, they created "a chaotic mutant-infested city that tops the most sensory-overloading cities in all of comics and animation."

Mad Magazine legend Al Jaffee died at the age of 102. Below, we present our 2016 post featuring Jaffee talking about how he invented the iconic Fold-ins for the satirical magazine.

This hit me right in the feels - not only politically, but primarily with powerful nostalgia for the set of #AlJaffee books I devoured as a kid.

"Planet Earth is lucky to have had Al Jaffee share his unmatched talent and humor with us."

When Mad Magazine would credit it's contributors on the cover, they simply printed, "Made by the usual gang of idiots." Al Jaffee was one of the original idiots.
Dead at 102. RIP.

Sweet thing about late MAD magazine genius #AlJaffee you may not know: For decades, he spent summers in #Provincetown, in a house in the East End known as "the Kibbutz." Here he is at work in his studio. But after his wife Joyce died, he could never go back. #art [📸 Erik Jacobs]
