A Birthday Celebration Of Artist WALLY WOOD!
Curated by Chet Reams - June 17, 2023
Born today (June 17) in 1927, was illustrator Wallace “Wally” Wood. To celebrate Wood’s legacy, here are some selections of some of his illustrations over the years:
Wally Wood EC Comics art for Spawn Of Venus in 3-D.
Wally Wood’s original cover artwork to EC Comics’ Weird Science issue 14. Art copyright of EC Comics (William M Gaines Agent, Inc)
From Blazing Combat Issue 3, April 1966
Description from Heritage Auctions: “Wally Wood - Mad #34, "Wedding Album" Illustration Original Art (EC, 1957). From the "Oh, Promise Me Dept." comes this superb Wally Wood illustration, loaded with the sort of sight-gag details that helped make Wood a legend in the comics field. The thrust of this feature was that Wally Balloo, "Mad's crack photographer" would take follow-up shots for comparison to idyllic wedding album shots, just to see how things were going. The caption on the opening wedding album scene (not offered in this lot) read, "Here's the picture taken when the lights are low, a spotlight is on the dance floor, the band strikes up 'their song,' and bride and groom start the first waltz." Now for the fun -- this "after" scene, offered here, is "Six months later," and its caption read, "And here's Balloo's shot of the second waltz, taken after a six month intermission, when he dropped in on 'the happy couple' unexpectedly during a battle royal." Hoo-hah! It's a hilarious Mad's-eye view of stark reality.” Artwork copyright of E.C. Publications/MAD Magazine
