Daredevil #10, page 10

A great page from the penultimate issue of Wally Wood's run on DD, featuring the introduction of a pretty wacky team of villians (collectively, the Ani-Men) under the leadership of the perhaps aptly named "Organizer". While many have insisted that Wood was only the inker on this issue (which he wrote and plotted), it is odd that Bob Powell would have been specifically credited only with the layouts (credit for layouts only did not happen often (see, for instance, the Sentinels trilogy in X-Men #14 to #16, where Jack Kirby was specifically credited with the layouts)). Interestingly, in the next issue (DD #11), Bob Powell is expressly credited with the pencils and Wood the inks (with no mention of layouts). I guess that part of the reason for this debate is that Wood inks would theoretically lower the price of the artwork. Perhaps "theoretically" is the keyword because pages from Wood's run on DD (commencing from DD #5) have steadily been increasing substantially in price regardless of the precise credits over the years. Perhaps this is because the run was so short. In any event (and perhaps more importantly, in my view), it really doesn't matter - Wood's inking was so powerful that it literally overwhelmed whosever pencils that were being inked. So much by way of background debate. The fact remains is that this is, as I mentioned, a great page and, as a collector, that is the main thing - enjoyment of the hobby in general and the artwork in particular.
