A combination of two giants on one strip! When Wally Wood worked on this strip it was a thing of sheer beauty. You can go look at the old newspapers on microfilm and when you look at the comic page, Sky Masters just pops out from all the others.

This is a terrific original (congrats!). But am I mistaken in suspecting that these may not be Wally Wood inks? Is it possible this is Dick Ayers emulating Wood's style on Sky Masters instead? I ask because the Wikipedia entry for the strip posts the following: "Ayers described in participation in a 1996 interview: 'I began Sky Masters with the 36th Sunday page; Jack's pencils, my inks, in September of 1959. I ended the Sundays in January 1960. I also did the dailies for a period of [over] two years, from September of '59 to December of '61. These were complete inks; I was the only one doing it at the time. Of course, Wally Wood also worked on that strip, in the beginning, before me.' "

I stand corrected, and apologize profusely for any confusion that may have been created by my earlier comment. In my sleepy mind I think I was simply transposing 7-59 and 9-59, quite in error. If Ayer's comments and statement of his own Sky Masters art time line is correct, then these are indeed Wally Wood inks. This is a fabulous example of the strip.
