Description
T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents was a bi-monthly comic published by Tower Comics. It ran from 1965-1969, although it's been resurrected a number of times of the years.

The comic was co-created by Wally Wood, and the team was based out of the United Nations. Most of the team had equipment that gave them powers for some period of time. This issue focused on Dynamo, who wore a belt that gave him super human strength for 30 minutes. If he left it on too long, he would be endangering his life. Many of the issues showed the team with real lives, outside of their superhero activity. I thought this page (pencilled by Dan Adkins, a mentee of Wood and inked by Wally) was a wonderful use of form and shading to create tension out of a man kneeling. The pose isn't obviously dramatic, but with Wood's almost 3D hand and the text, you find yourself drawn into the story.

I recently rediscovered my collection of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents when organizing my comic collection; there certainly was some incredible artwork in those issues.  This splash is a wonderful example and Wally Wood's lush inks make the Dynamo figure truly pop with the deep black background inks.  Congratulations on a terrifric splash page!

So emotional of an image!  It's the fatigue we all feel when standing up in an age of hate and misinformation in society today.

Poignant and poetic words that still ring true today paired up with sublimely illustrated art. Excellent page.

You can't ever go wrong with Wally Wood inks. This is also a superb image - paradoxically simple and profound at one and the same time. Many congrats, Ron!

Beautiful piece by Adkins & Wood. Very dramatic & it shows his fatigue. Congratulations on a great piece!

Wood, an obvious giant; Atkins, under-rated.  The combo is beautiful.  Congratulations!

This is a fantastic example of Body Language. No dialogue required , yet it speaks volumes
