witzend, anyone?

Searched this forum and can't find a single post on it. It was a short-lived Wally Wood produced series of creator owned strips. Some pretty interesting strips in there, quite ahead of their time, I think. I have issue 3, which includes the first appearance of Ditko's Mr. A and an early Art Spiegelman strip. Anyone else have any issues of this?

 

 

 

And here's part of a strip I particularly like called The Chase, by Roger Brand. Really unique art style which to me wouldn't look out of place in a modern day Image title, and an unusually dark storyline for something written in 1965.

I might have one or two.

Don’t know if it may interest, but Witzend had a partial publication in Italy.

 

I did not know "Angel" was the very first Mr. A story. I have it, but I think it’s in an antology. It’s pretty disturbing.

Never seen that before.

 

The art style and the panel layout reminds me of Bernard Krigstein.

Wood also self published this: Wood sketchbook 2 in 1981

He also edited this: Wood portfolio. I think this was published in the late 60's.
