Huh…I didn’t know Wood did that Eerie cover.

A cartoonist friend turned me on to this Happy Birthday Wally selection.
I grew up with MAD, so I think of his great work there, but hey, these have a monumental solidity that makes me really “feel” them. Also, Wood was a master at any object, making it right for it’s task.
Proving that here, the beautifully done submarine of TWO FISTED TALES, the cruel menace and emotional eroticism of the SHOCK Suspenstories, the solidly built, ready and uber-athletic blond of PRISON BREAK! and the submarine-race watching Babe of EERIE. The final heroic pose of WEIRD SCIENCE smacks of illustrators (to me, anyway) Virgil Finlay and Maxfield Parrish. Sweet!
What a great selection. Thanks 12thdimension,
and THANK YOU, MR. WALLY WOOD.
