Angelo Torres is a cartoonist and caricaturist whose work has appeared in many comic books, as well as a long-running regular slot in MAD Magazine. Torres was friends with artist Al Williamson in the early 1950's and occasionally assisted him on work for EC Comics with fellow artists Frank Frazetta and Roy Krenkel (known as the Fleagle Gang). The story which was to be Torres's first solo story for EC, "An Eye For An Eye" in Incredible Science Fiction 33 ended up being rejected by the Comics Code and did not see print for the first time until 1971. Torres later worked for Warren Publishing under editor Archie Goodwin. He contributed art on 20 stories for Creepy, Eerie and Blazing Combat from 1964 through 1967.
