▪ 2009
Wolf William Eisenberg 
      American illustrator

born Sept. 22, 1922, Bronx, N.Y.

died May 14, 2008, Rockleigh, N.J.
earned a reputation as “the master of vulgar modernism”—in the words of one critic—with his lavish, wildly irreverent drawings for such magazines as Mad and Playboy. In 1952 Elder became one of Mad's original cartoonists and helped develop its distinctive visual style. He left Mad in 1956 and worked briefly for several other publications, including Trump, Humbug, and Help!, before becoming (1962) the chief illustrator for the Playboy comic strip Little Annie Fanny. Elder worked on the strip during its entire run, which ended in 1988. Much of Elder's work was collected in two books, Will Elder: The Mad Playboy of Art (2003) and Chicken Fat (2006).
