Jack Rickard

Jack Rickard (March 8, 1922[1][2] – July 22, 1983) was an American illustrator for numerous advertising campaigns and multiple comic strips but was best known as a key contributor to Mad for more than two decades.

He began illustrating for the humor magazine in 1961 and remained a regular until his death from cancer 22 years later.

Lazarus used the pseudonym "Fulton" on this strip, which followed the misadventures of blonde secret agent McPeril.

After Norman Mingo semi-retired in 1976, Rickard became Mad's main cover artist until his death seven years later.

Rickard illustrated both the original film poster for Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and its parody on the cover of Mad #137.
