This has been the most requested episode. I think it’s the peak of the series. In that it happens at the halfway point. #madmen #kencosgrove #madmannies #midcentury #silveragecomics #halftone #1963 #popart #romancecomics1960s

If there was ever a television show suited for a newspaper comic tie-in, it was Mad Men. Felipe Flores perfectly captures the show's gorgeous aesthetic with his 60s-inspired art style, and expertly adapts the original teleplays. You'd swear these episodes were written to be comics!

Rather than adapt the entire series in order, Flores handpicks which of Madison Avenue ad men's most iconic moments get the comic strip treatment. You haven't truly seen Don Draper pitch the Kodak slide projector or Guy McKendrick lose his foot until you've seen it printed in halftone colour dots.

If Flores ever does decide to adapt the entire series in order, he won't need a genius ad man to sell it to us. Who knew that the most stylish show of the last two decades could be infused with even more style?
