Book Description

6 3/8 x 10 1/4 200 black-and-white illustrations North American Distribution ART TECHNIQUE Wally Wood (1927-1981) was one of the most prolific and influential figures in fantasy and science fiction illustration. This legendary cartoonist's works include ground-breaking tales for such classic comics as Haunt of Fear, Weird Science, and Weird Fantasy, as well as fan-favorite superhero work on T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and Daredevil. When he became MAD Magazine's first star artist, he had already revolutionized comic books with the sci-fi work that put him on Entertainment Weekly's all-time best list. Wally Wood Sketchbook reveals rare, never-before-published works of this artistic genius. It spans the artist's impressive three-decade career, from his difficult boyhood in Minnesota to his stories for classic comic characters to his numerous awards and citations. An essay from comics historian James Steranko, and personal discussions with Wood's closest colleagues-as well as a rare interview with Wally Wood himself-provide fascinating insight into the life and talent of this consummate artist. Features Introduction by Bruce Timm (artist/producer, Batman Beyond)

5 out of 5 stars Lot's of great drawings from a master.......2006-11-18

Anything with Wood is a masterpiece. This is an excellent addition to anyone's collection of Wood art. Wally Wood was a master of cartooning. He was a great artist that deserves mention amongst the notables of great art. Squ Tront and Russ Cochran's ec reprints provide the public with much of Wood's work. However, his sketchbooks are hard to find. His sketchbooks reveal the creative genius he had. His suicide is a great tragedy. I saw him at a convention in 1980. I noticed at that time he was quite despondent. It's an aweful thing he didn't have anyone to talk to. May God rest his soul.

3 out of 5 stars OK little collection of Wood sketches.......2003-05-05

Wood is known as one of the early Mad magazine artists, but it's nice to see some preliminary sketches of his other work here. With examples of various genres, including both ink and pencil drawings, this slim volume doesn't really have his best stuff. Woody's work has a slightly stiff and old-fashioned quality, but if you're interested in illustration or science fiction (especially of the 1950's), this is passable. A lot of weird and absurd images, obsessively rendered. I was struck by the long hours he must have put in. The bio describes the sad end of his life. For better examples of Wood's cartooning, get reprints of '50s era Mad magazines. For his classic sci-fi illustrations, "Against the Grain: Mad Artist Wallace Wood" has more to offer than this book, but it's much more expensive.

5 out of 5 stars Wally wood Knows Sci-Fi.......2000-06-25

This book is filled with wonderful drawings. I had never heard of wally wood before but as an artist myself was very inspired by his amazing work. This book shows just how ahead of his time wally wood was and can be an inspiration to any sci-fi fan.
