hooray for wally wood thursday june 17 2021 840 000 piece of wood from 1952 the original art for this classic ec cover by wood sold at auction today coincidentally woody s birthday for 840 000 posted by booksteve at 2 36 pm 1 comment sunday may 30 2021 dr killmore s big decision here we have some rare early wood circa 1950 as published in a digest comic book called candid tales aimed at adult males and let s face it probably teenage males if they could find it it s not unknown as it was listed in twomorrows definitive if incomplete wood checklist but it s rare and i don t believe ever reprinted it s also sexist misogynist and really not all that funny wood may have had help from harry harrison joe orlando or sid check on this but even then it s the woodwork that shines through as always the entire issue of candid tales which also contains work from future wood collaborator bob powell can be found at the digital comics museum site posted by booksteve at 9 42 am no comments saturday march 14 2020 sally forth in color one of wood s most popular creations remains sally forth the hilarious naughty but not dirty black white strip he did for the us troops overseas in the early 1970s although revived at the end of his life as a hardcore strip for nuance it was still in black and white and it s been generally believed by most that sally never appeared in color it has come to my attention however that she did in france in the late 1970s or early 1980s you can find copies in french of course on ebay and if you look hard enough there is a scanned copy floating around the interwebs sally forth is of course and 2020 the wallace wood estate posted by booksteve at 11 31 am 1 comment wednesday july 17 2019 review cons de fee the erotic art of wallace wood cons de fée the erotic art of wallace wood this is a tough book to review because of course wallace wood was great parts of this book though are not one of the very best and most influential artists to ever have worked in comics wood was jointly celebrated for his sleek and shiny science fiction art his impish and biting humor art and his unapologetically sexy and sometimes smutty good girl art there have been multiple volumes collecting the best of his work in two of those categories but only one in the latter this new volume from fantagraphics then could be considered an expanded revision of that earlier volume naughty knotty wood published by the same company more than two decades ago only it isn t really naughty knotty wood has quite a few pieces that aren t represented here at all likewise this current volume has nearly 100 more pages many of them taken up by the never before reprinted flat out pornographic strips from gang bang that appeared late in wood s life while they more than fit the topic a few of them inarguably qualify as the worst things that he ever drew but enough with comparisons how s this particular book you ask well it has its ups and downs it s good to have all this material corralled into one volume some of it malice in wonderland for instance or some of his screw covers can be counted amongst the best of wood s later work the pussycat strip is a delightful revelation when compared to the murky 1968 printing with which most fans would be familiar the wood estate s j david spurlock discusses the behind the scenes story of that and several other unique items in his informative introduction he also explains the book s unusual title a poorly chosen reference to a long ago french collection of woodwork that makes no real sense this book s descriptive subtitle alone would have sufficed rather than tagging it with the silly bit of euro naughtiness that s likely to turn away potential customers editor j michael catron who handled the completion chores on the recent two volume fantagraphics collection of wood related essays begun by the late bhob stewart presumably provided the info in the contents as to the original publication of the various pieces in the book it s welcome information although i would have preferred it being with the pieces themselves rather than having to go back and check the contents whenever i wanted to know more also i was surprised to see one of wood s most famous 1970s pieces the glorious outer space cover of his first self published sally forth collection listed as publication status unknown spurlock writes a nice bio of wood at the end but unfortunately it contains some repetitious bits that come almost word for word from his intro in between the intro and the bio you ll find color and black and white girlie cartoons and strips from mags like gent dude nugget cavalcade puritan national screw and big apple comix along with an underground wood strip that was also in naughty knotty wood but with a bizarrely rewritten script and even different credits would love to have heard the full story behind that so yes a mixed bag for wood collectors it s another welcome addition to the seemingly endless library of quality wallace wood books casual fans might find themselves wondering what all the fuss is about it should go without saying that cons de fee the erotic art of wallace wood is nsfw and is for adults only booksteve recommends for wallace wood fans posted by booksteve at 1 17 pm no comments wednesday march 13 2019 review dare devil aces have i mentioned that it s a good time to be a wally wood fan there have been so many great books covering wood s life art and career in one or more capacities in recent years that a fan could easily fill a bookcase with nothing but wonderful woodwork the latest of these books is vanguard s cleverly titled dare devil aces subtitled commandos and other sagas of war as you might suspect from that title this is a collection of wood s war related comics stories well most of them anyway avoiding repetition the already widely printed ec s and the separately published blazing combat pieces are instead covered herein via informative text pieces and some original art pages the meat of this volume consists of lesser known material originally published by charlton harvey avon tower and even dc comics military comic books flourished throughout the 1950s and into the 60s until ant vietnam sentiment began driving many of them out of business sgt rock and sgt fury managed to hang on a bit longer as did a few under the radar charlton titles but the boom had ended while the boom lasted though woody contributed some typically attractively drawn pieces some concurrent to his amazing mad years and those often uncredited but easily recognizable stories are to be found here storywise most are lacking in comparison to harvey kurtzman s highly researched war anti war ec s but that doesn t detract from the enjoyment of wood s art which is really why you re here in fact most of these stories originally printed on cheap pulp paper really cheap pulp paper in the case of the charltons have never looked better the decision to reproduce from the original comics on slick paper goes a long way toward covering up many of the printing flaws of the original comics and make no mistake while some of the examples here might be considered lesser wood we re also treated to the lone tiger and dollar bill cash from 1966 considered by many to be some of the artist s very best work of that decade and cannon wood s own paramilitary strip superspy character that ran in the overseas weekly for years is represented here by the stories from both issues of heroes inc done with the great steve ditko dan adkins maurice whitman and russ jones are also credited as working with wood on a number of the pieces at hand available in multiple editions dare devil aces is a particularly attractive book and yet another choice
