David Berg (1920-2002) got his start in the comic industry in the 1940s working for the studio of Will Eisner, as well as Stan Lee's Timely Comics (later known as Marvel). He began work at MAD in 1957, and would continue to contribute up until his death, gaining popularity for his beloved Lighter Side series. Sergio Aragonés (1937-), Spanish-born cartoonist and co-creator of fantasy comic Groo the Wanderer, began his contributions to MAD in 1963, where he became known for his A Mad Look At… series which commonly appeared in the magazine's margins.
