“Spy vs. Spy” was the brainchild of Cuban-born political cartoonist Antonio Prohias, who fled his country after receiving death threats from Fidel Castro. Prohias settled in America, and in 1960 he began a 26-year run of Spy misadventures in MAD Magazine. This book by Prohias, long out of print, showcases his genius as an artist, storyteller, and graphic designer.
Direct from the pages of MAD Magazine, Spy vs. Spy is the visual embodiment of conflict and one-upmanship. Two extremely similar yet opposing spies work to get the best of the other with creative schemes and feats of espionage. Included in the kit are 2 spy figurines and a 32- page book
If you’re a fan of Spy vs. Spy you’ll love this book. A compilation of Spy vs. Spy cartoons plus a history of Spy vs. Spy, how & why it got started, etc. When I used to buy MAD magazine Spy vs. Spy was the cartoon I looked for & anticipated the most. I bought this for my kids & they love it also, even though many of these cartoons are older than they are. This is timeless reading.
