Joe Casey, comic book veteran and one-quarter of the Man of Action animation-writing team, joins some impressive company in this month's Playboy, an issue celebrating the 60th anniversary of the long-running men's magazine. Casey's one of several notable names, both living and dead, advertised on the magazine's cover, along with Truman Capote, Ben Affleck, Erica Jong, Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, Patton Oswalt and David Mamet.

Casey's contribution to the issue is a Playboy-exclusive comic about a 1950s romance comic character in the 2013 dating world; it's written by Casey, illustrated by his Haunt collaborator Nathan Fox, colored by Brad Simpson and lettered by Rus Wooton. Casey was featured in Playboy earlier this year, discussing his thematically appropriate Image Comics series Sex in the magazine's March issue.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for the writer -- last week saw the release of the first Sex collection plus the Gødland Finale, wrapping up the Casey-written series that started in 2005. The 60th-anniversary Playboy, headlined by supermodel Kate Moss, is on sale digitally now, with a print edition available Friday.
