In the late fifties, Antonio Prohias fled from Cuba to the United States, escaping from Fidel Castro's new regime. Soon Prohias went to work for <B>Mad </B></I>magazine, where he became a regular favorite of many readers. Art Spiegelman has described the "Spy vs. Spy" feature in <B>The New York Times Magazine </B></I>as "the comic strip equivalent of the yin-and-yang symbol, good and evil, inter-dependent and inter-changeable -- forever chasing each other's tails." The White Spy plays mind-games on his Black counterpart, using the split-personality riff inspired by <B>The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</B></I>. Each page measures approximately 7.25" x 12.25" overall, with an image area of 6.5" x 11", and the art is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Small Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
