Best of Witzend

This comics anthology collects some of the best creator-owned work of some of the very best mid-century cartoonists: Ditko, Frazetta, Kurtzman, Wood, and many more.

Info autore

Wallace Allan Wood (1927-1981) is widely considered to be America's greatest science fiction cartoonist. But Wood could -- and did -- do it all: humor (a founding cartoonist of Mad), crime, superheroes, romance, war. He was also a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine witzend. Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1992.

Riassunto

Cartoonist Wallace Wood created and published his own magazine — witzend. Witzend immediately became a venue for personal work, without regard to commercial constraints and with contributors like Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Gray Morrow, and Reed Crandall. (And that was just the first issue!) In later issues, Steve Ditko, Art Spiegelman, Vaughn Bodé, Jim Steranko, Jeffrey Catherine Jones, Howard Chaykin, Bernie Wrightson — and dozens more — joined in.
