Another quick look at this topic after I came across this two-page cartoon feature from MAN'S DARING (November 1962). Readers may recall seeing Vic Martin's signature on single-panel cartoon gags in the pages of CRACKED and FOR MONSTERS ONLY in the 1960's.
Victor "Vic" Martin was born in Argentina and drew the cartoon strip "Salvador" in his native country before moving to the U.S. in the 1950's, where he drew cartoons for various men's magazines. He drew spot cartoons for comic books, including Prize, Toby and Ziff-Davis titles.
Martin made the move to men's humor magazines such as TV GIRLS & GAGS and HUMORAMA, as well as mainstream humor magazines such as Joe Simon's SICK, Charlton's CRAZY and Robert C. Sproul's CRACKED. He also worked for a time on the LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE newspaper strip.
Coincidentally, MAN'S DARING was published by Sproul and Pre-Code horror artist alumnus Bernard Baily!
