Back when I was a lad the one thing that would have struck you about my room were the colourful wacky letter stickers that covered everything from my schoolbooks though my toys to the furniture in my room - much to my parents dismay.
Those stickers were collected from bubblegum packets and featured the wonderful weird creations of Norman Saunders, an artist whose output can seldom have been matched before or since.
The Nutty Initials stickers I collected were but a tiny sliver of a phenominal output that included book and magazine illustrations, work for comics and, of course, trading cards and bubblegum stickers. The icionic Mars Attacks cards were his works, as were the covers of seemingly just about every pulp sci-fi, western or detective paperback published in the 30’s,40’s and 50’s.
Before the war he sold 100 paintings a year, he painted images so nightmarish that the United States Congress passed a Comic Book Code of Decency Act to protect American kids from his kinds of images.
Anyway, read all about him here in a moving biographical piece by his son, and take a look through all his published work.
