I believe they did meet, and expressed admiration for each other's work. But I don't remember where I read this. Frazetta did a widely reprinted Famous Funnies cover which was reported to be his homage to Wally Wood and the way he drew machinery.
I may be mis-remembering, but it seems to me at one time or another both Frank Frazetta and Wally Wood worked on harvey Kurtzman's LITTLE ANNIE FANNIE in PLAYBOY (though probaby not at the same time).
Although credited to Kurtzman and Elder, LITTLE ANNIE FANNY also had help over the years from Russ Heath, Frank Frazetta and Jack Davis. To the best of my knowledge, Wood never joined them.
Very nice! Thanks for posting this!!
ReplyDeletehe drew great bums, Wally did.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a cover for SCREW.
ReplyDeleteThe woman - her strong legs - almost looks like a Frazetta. I wonder if they ever met? And if they would have gotten along?

ReplyDeleteWood ghosted several Johnny Comet pages for Frazetta.
