Wally Wood's art is guilty of some of the same flaws I've criticized in other artists. His figure drawings retain some stiffness and anatomical awkwardness; there can be an excess of detail and a lack of prioritization; particularly in later years he could draw with a heavy hand and recycle gimmicks. Yet, Wood's redeeming talents are so original and weird and bountiful, they more than offset any mere technical inadequacies. Wood did some of his best work for MAD. In honor of the late great MAD Magazine, let's revisit some examples of Wood's humorous art: Here are some examples of preliminary sketches contrasted with final art for Wood's wonderful story, "What Do You Do For A Living, Daddy?" Who could draw children like Wood? Some of Wood's best works for MAD portrayed the annoyances and micro-aggressions of middle class existence in the 1950s. He would frequently pack his backgrounds full of strange goings on: A day at the beach Relatives come to dine. Note Frankenstein and the Wolf Man Often these background drawings were published in a size too small for MAD readers to understand and appreciate. I'm reproducing them here in a size that I hope will allow you to enjoy Wood's stream of consciousness drawing. Wood also did a great job depicting the Madison Ave. executives of the 1950s and 60s who would later be depicted on the show, Mad Men. Finally, here are a few more examples of Wood's characters:
Wally Wood has crafted a very deep and insightful message in this series. I hope it changes your life as much as it did mine. P.S. I'll post the following pages, one per day.

Das zeichnerische Ausnahmetalent Wallace Wood gehört zu den bedeutendsten Künstlern, die in den 1950er-Jahren durch ihre Arbeit für den New Yorker Verlag EC Comics den Grundstein für ihre Karriere gelegt haben. Dieser neue dem Wood'schen Schaffen für EC gewidmete Band präsentiert seine Geschichten aus den Magazinen Two-Fisted Tales, Frontline Combat, Piracy, Valor und Aces High.Während viele US-amerikanische Comicmagazine vor dem Hintergrund des Koreakriegs (1950-1953) militärische Konflikte verherrlichten und idealisierten, wurden die Schrecken des Kriegs in Two-Fisted Tales und der Schwesterpublikation Frontline Combat realistisch dargestellt. Die bisweilen mit einer humanistischen Botschaft versehenen Storys zeichnen sich durch knallharte Action aus und beleuchten so verlustreiche Auseinandersetzungen wie den Korea- oder den Sezessionskrieg.Die packenden Abenteuer aus Piracy und Valor spielen auf hoher See oder im antiken Rom und sind in verschiedenen Epochen der Geschichte angesiedelt, die Erzählungen aus Aces High widmen sich dann den gnadenlosen Luftkämpfen der beiden Weltkriege.
