Angelo Torres

Angelo Torres (b. April 14, 1932 in Santurce, Puerto Rico)^[1] is an American cartoonist and caricaturist whose work has appeared in many comic books, as well as a long-running regular slot in Mad.

EC Comics

Torres was friends with artist Al Williamson in the early 1950s and occasionally assisted him on work for EC Comics with fellow artists Frank Frazetta and Roy Krenkel (known as the Fleagle Gang). The story which was to be Torres' first solo EC story, "An Eye for an Eye" in Incredible Science Fiction #33 (Jan.-Feb. 1956), was rejected by the Comics Code and did not see print for the first time until 1971.

Torres later worked for Warren Publishing under editor Archie Goodwin. He contributed art on 20 stories for Creepy, Eerie and Blazing Combat from 1964 through 1967.

Mad

Torres contributed to every issue of Mad from October 1968 to March 1980, typically film or television parodies.

He was named #61 in Atomic Comics' (retailer) list of The Top 100 Artists of American Comic Books.^[2]
