Wally Wood's EC Stories Artist's Edition - Expanded - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Discover an all-new look at the work of the legendary Wally Wood as he helped change the face of comics forever at EC Comics, the groundbreaking publisher known for their industry leading horror, sci-fi, and suspense storytelling!

EC Comics was one of the greatest comic imprints of all time with Wally Wood as one of its brightest stars!

The Wally Wood EC Stories Artist's Edition - EXPANDED will include all 18 stories from the long out-of-print first edition, but that's not all. An additional 10 stories will be included for the very first time, for a staggering total of 28 COMPLETE STORIES!

Within these pages are some of Wood's greatest artistic achievements, including his work on MY WORLD, CAME THE DAWN, MARS IS HEAVEN, ATOM BOMB, BLOCKADE, and many more! Additionally, more than a dozen classic covers by Wood are included. As an extra special bonus, the unpublished "Spawn of Venus" at EC Comics story intended for the canceled THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCIENCE FICTION is included in this volume.

Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible - ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special - are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn.

The Artist's Edition of Wally Wood's work is an art book disguised as a comic collection. The only better way to see these pages is by looking over Wood's shoulder at his drawing board!

Collects "My World" from Weird Science #22, "Mars is Heaven" from Weird Science #18, "Came the Dawn" from Shock Suspenstories #9, "Atom Bomb" from Two-Fisted Tales #33, "In Gratitude" from Shock Suspenstories #11
