Seems like Hollywood ripped him off. <br /><br />Alberto RamirezArts in the Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291841102216956487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683277093797025016.post-37008268036030366642011-07-23T03:36:14.618-04:002011-07-23T03:36:14.618-04:00These pages are an absolute treat to behold!

It's interesting to see inks on acetate like this, which gives it a little more of the animation cell look like Wood used on his "V-Vampires!" story in MAD. It always gives the original art a great presentation, and more of a three-dimensional look. Wood makes it look so damn easy too. That's what's so interesting about his EC era originals. There'll be a duo-shade panel or paste-up here, a scratch-board panel there, some dry-brushing, great usage of ben day dot patterns, some coquille board....etc. Seeing scans of the original art, it just looks as if he was having a blast playing around with different tonal values and textures. In some stories it seemed like he was striving to top himself with each consecutive panel! Very inspirational work.Lostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228332266141984524noreply@blogger.com
