Description

Love this piece by the Golden Age great himself Wally Wood who's well known for his Horror and Sci-Fi pieces. Created on DuoTone board with a size of 6.25" x 5.5". There's so much happening on this illustration from the main guy (appears to be a self-illustration of himself) reading a book wearing a Sci-Fi vest, the mummy drinking beer, the scene set inside a cell, to the man stabbed on the bottom.... Every part of this illustration was well developed and fun to see broken out.

Big Thank You to Bruce for providing additional information on this piece.

Pretty cool as it reflects the work he did for EC with monsters, creepy stuff, and lots of death done with a sly macabre style.

Whew, kinda breathtaking. You are so lucky to own this. This artist's self-perception is endlessly fascinating to me. Congrats!
