Could anyone please tell me who did the artwork for the covers of "After The Fox", "What's New Pussycat" "Bananas" and "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World"... I wonder if it's the same Artist ?
It's a very distinctive style.....I love it !

Many thanks,
Leo.

Wiki mentions none other than Frank Frazetta for some of those film posters. I never thought of Frazetta doing that style. I'll always associate him with the incredibly muscular Clint Eastwood of THE ENFORCER - with a heavily-breasted Sondra Locke wrapped around his leg.

It seems that the super-famous, and very MAD Jack Davis did the others you mention, Leo. I'm no expert - I just Googled it! Other, more informed parties, will have brainy observations to make.

You're welcome Leo. And of course it wasn't THE ENFORCER I meant, but rather THE GAUNTLET! Told you I wasn't a real genius!

Sometimes the artist signs his work. So, if you have the actual cover, or can find a sufficiently large image of it on the web, you can discern the artist's name--as in this case, from the front cover of "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." (...And if you can make out the signature. Davis' is easier to read than most.)

If you didn't know that the artist was Frank Frazetta, could you really make it out from this signature on the cover of WHAT'S NEW PUSSSYCAT?

Jack Davis worked at MAD magazine for quite a while. I think he also did the cover for Mancini's "The Party" although I can't find his name on the CD.

Yup roy, THE PARTY is one of his, along with KELLY'S HEROES, VIVA MAX... basically most things with a cast of millions all bunched together on the cover doing "Mad" things. THE LONG GOODBYE was one of his more subdued ones.

I'm learning all this from the computer and passing it off as my own knowledge.
