PENCILINK takes an all-too brief look at HOUSE OF MYSTERY's period as a dollar comic and Wally Wood's MAD-like contribution to one issue here-- http://pencilink.blogspot.com/
Woody was so damn good at this. At superheroes etc. he was just a great inker and fine storyteller among others. Often stiff and detached with those frozen faces. Doesn't do it for me except in a technical sense. His humor stuff by contrast is just a knockout, he leverages a sophisticated technical polish that nobody can touch with a loose weirdness. Jesus, just look at this little throwaway composition, with the blacks framing the newspaper and the legs/walls/desk front framing the figure. Every detail is fun to look at and makes the picture easy to read.
Wally Wood was one of the most influential comic book artists of all time and this blog exists to celebrate the work of Wood and his many talented associates. By the nature of Wood's work and interests, some material on this site may include adult content.
