The Life And Legend Of Wallace Wood Volume 2 Larry Hama Trina Robbins Paul Krassner Flo Steinberg Bill Pearson Paul Levitz Tom Sutton Bhob Stewart J Michael Catron Robert Crumb Daniel Clowes Michael T Gilbert Al Feldstein Dave Sim Drew Friedman Marie Severin Books Reviews
- Well, please excuse me if this is a brief review (in the middle of something and have some back pain). I've long been a Wally Wood fan...from at least the seventies...and if you count his work in Mad Magazine...then from about 1960. This guy was an artistic genius...with a great (maybe kind've twisted) sense of humor....and both his Sci-Fi stuff and erotic stuff (like "Sally Forth" and the Disneyland satirical work, first shown in "Screw Magazine" (of which I was a subscriber) were FIRST damn RATE. I guess I could add that I was a member of his fan club in the late seventies...and I've long had a good, little collection of his stuff...including a fair amount of the (already mentioned) Sally Forth content (wonderful, and better than Kurtzman's "Little Annie Fanny (in Playboy Magazine)). This volume is simply JAM-PACKED with premium Wood stuff. Yep, a little pricey...but you have this volume in your mitts...and you feel like you've just had a second Xmas...or "died and gone to heaven." REALLY NICE STUFF (to "write home about")!!!!!!
I 'spose I could mention that--at the same time---I also grabbed Wood's "Spawn of Mars," which was equally excellent. - Fantastic layout and quality.
- I gave the first volume of this two-volume collection only four stars, as it was a reprint of a previous book. However, this collection is much better as it features colour work, and a lot of it uncensored art, which the book "Against the Grain" didn't.
This book collects what I believe was the better work of Wood, from the 60s onwards. It also includes some samples of his porno comics, which many fans were disappointed about. Make your own judgements (it's still Wood). There's lots of great anecdotes by those who knew him, his assistants, friends, etc. I actually enjoyed this volume more than the first one. I guess most people are fans of the sci-fi work he did for EC (and thus stuck to only volume one), but this one features much better work. I agree with Wood when he said his work was better in the 1960s.
Again, Wood fans can do no wrong by getting this volume (and the first one too). I know it's a reprint, but this showcases better the artwork and it's published at a lather size!
I can't believe I'm the only person doing a review here, since it's already been out for a while (and this volume is better than the first one). Highly recommended! - If you are Wood guy (sorry) you have to have both volumes. Lavish table top book.
