Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 So much talk about all his superb sci fi work and covers, but don’t forget he worked in many other genres as well… One of the best, is his humor work in MAD. His work was featured for such a long time starting in #1 and ran for many years. Point Five, KirbyJack, Yorick and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been real busy as MAD used many other DC characters in their parodies over the years. I don't know who won the lawsuit but suspect that it was EC.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 Being older has it's perks... Many years ago when SDCC was at the old convention center and just months before he passed away, I had the honor of meeting the man. I had brought my MAD #1 and a few other non EC books to have him sign him. I waited in line and then it was my turn to stand in front of him. I noticed he looked real bad and tired. There was also a bit of an alcohol smell to him. I handed him my MAD and told him how much I enjoyed his work in it as a kid and how it inspired me to search out a lot of his other work. He seemed puzzled but smiled weakly at what I had brought. We shook hands and off I went. I knew he didn't;t look good but was still surprised when he passed away shortly after that. To this day, he is firmly placed in my top 5 comic artists of all time. vaultkeeper, Raze, pmpknface and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC must have lost a LOT of lawsuits They parodied just about everything and everyone. I know a lot of people considered it an honor to be parodied by MAD. vaultkeeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Inaflash Posted March 11, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 This Gaines copy along with two others was the first one I bought years ago off eBay when I had zero feedback. The seller shipped them to me and they arrived at my doorstep before I had even paid. This is copy #2 out of 11.

BitterOldMan Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have a short box devoted to Wally Wood comics. Very early 1950 Wood art. The back of the board says bad Wally Wood art.😄 Jayman and pmpknface 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I just stumbled upon this great publication last week and got this terrific back issue devoted to Wood. Can’t believe I never heard of it before. Gotta hunt down some other issues! Anyway, this issue contains a seven part series compiled into this one issue very in depth about Wood so I had to pick it up. vaultkeeper, Inaflash, Robot Man and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BitterOldMan Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 My first win from Heritage in 2002. I am just here for the violence. My win from All Star Auctions, before Heritage was smart enough to hire both Joe and Nadia.
