World of Wood #1 (Eclipse, 1986)

Dave Stevens' wonderful homage to Wally Wood was a perfect blend of Wood-type characters and Stevens' own lovely linework. Of course, Wood and Stevens are both near the top of virtually every comic art collector's pantheon of greats, so the combination couldn't be more desirable. Such classic, mid-eighties Stevens good-girl covers are virtually non-existent on the market. And this stunning example has never before been offered at auction, having resided in the same collection for decades.
