Wally Wood did some (very) explicit porno stuff towards the end of his life, but I wouldn't really consider it *fun* to own such art as I actually consider it quite sad that an artist of his calibre  ended-up doing such things . . . and, no, I'm not going to risk a permanent ban from these forums for posting any pictures

He wasn't the only one who did that and I agree - very sad.

The full page Ming/Dale Arder page was offered around a few years ago for a pretty reasonable price. The art was very Wood, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. It was just kind of a bummer to see.

I don't know how said it is. I think some of those old-time artists grew up in a period of such censorship that it may have been fun for them to, at long last, draw naked women for publication instead of just doodling them on their own time.  I remember seeing prelim pages Wood did for an early 60s Marvel comic and I noticed that the main female character was drawn without clothes.  I presume in the final version she had clothes on.   Look at ebay today and see how many horny artists are cranking out "comic art" that is basically fan-fiction porn.

Anyone know where it is today?  How much did Mr. Turnbull pay for it originally from Golden?

I am pretty sure it was around that amount. I remember when this was posted originally. It was everywhere on the comic news websites and forums.
