complete original artwork for Antonio Prohias’ Spy Vs. Spy feature that was published in MAD, Vol. 1 # 107.
Antonio Prohias was a political refugee from Cuba. When Castro took over, he fled to the United States and continued his subversive work in a more open-minded environment. I did not know that. The guy that created, wrote, and drew all of Spy Vs. Spy was a political refugee from Cuba. Kinda cool, right?
The Morse code along the bottom of the header image reads “By Prohias” even on strips produced by other writers and artists after he retired.
The larger culture induced me to root for the White Spy when I was younger, but they’re both ruthless, awful dipshits who deserve everything they ever got.
