So much fun!
Spy vs. Spy was one of Mad's most memorable serials, and this is a great example!
Great example. It is fun and has all of Prohias's inventiveness. It seems to me he spent a lot of time on panel layout and the use of symmetry and mimicry to great interesting visuals. It wasn't until I got an example that I figured out that the symbols at the bottom of the first panel is his signature in morse code...perfect for spies.
Always liked Spy vs. Spy. But I learned about the artist with your detailed description. Very cool.
Awesome early Spy vs Spy piece! That last panel cracks me up haha. congrats on the new addition and for not letting this piece get past you the second time around!
Love this!
These have only become harder to find over the years with the universal appeal of Prohias' wordless gags that still reads with timeless humor for any generation.
Sweet example - great gags and great art!
Fantastic! Great example. The Morse close spells out "By Prohias" Congrats!
That top board is SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY!
The second time around is always better Gene,congrats!
Great example. Love those one-pagers! Congrats!
Fantastic Spy vs. Spy page! As a kid, I loved Antonio Prohias' Spy vs Spy ih Mad Magazine simoly because I thought it was funny. Now, as an adult, I enjoy it in a whole different way. The elegant simolicity of Prohias' art, the beauty of his layouts and the subtle irony of his sense of humor were things I didn't fully appreciate as a kid. But I sure do today. Fantastic pick-up, Gene!
