Description

Classic Wally Wood style Sci-Fi story art. This is page 4 of the EC story entitled "The Exile".
This page has it all for me, typical Wood interior space-ship machinery, a great panel showing a spaceship against the starry galaxy and a perfect use of shading.
A nice bonus is the little alien pet that pops up in the strangest places all over the page... Wood at his quirkiest and best.

The art is on oversized(twice-up) comic art paper measuring about 15 x 22 inches in size

About Wally Wood

Wallace Allan Wood (June 17, 1927 – November 2, 1981) was an American comic book writer, artist and independent publisher, best known for his work on EC Comics's Mad and Marvel's Daredevil. He was one of Mad's founding cartoonists in 1952. Although much of his early professional artwork is signed Wallace Wood, he became known as Wally Wood, a name he claimed to dislike. Within the comics community, he was also known as Woody, a name he sometimes used as a signature. In addition to Wood's hundreds of comic book pages, he illustrated for books and magazines while also working in a variety of other areas – advertising; packaging and product illustrations; gag cartoons; record album covers; posters; syndicated comic strips; and trading cards, including work on Topps' landmark Mars Attacks set. EC publisher William Gaines once stated, "Wally may have been our most troubled artist... I'm not suggesting any connection, but he may have been our most brilliant".
