Dynamo Original Art Splash

Waffyjon's round-up of original art features a lot of SUPERMAN pages this time but toward the end there are several T.H.U.N.D.E.R. pages, some by Wood, some not. Here's an impressive one most likely by Wood and Dan Adkins.

Killer Hawk-1974


In one of his final newsletters, Woody railed at Warren's Bill Dubay for cutting up and rewriting his scripts. Here we have an earlier collaboration between the two from 1974 but I question whether or not Dubay's dialogue reflects what Wood had actually intended here, either. Still, I have long considered this oft-reprinted tale to offer some of Wood's best latter-day art.

Here's a nice collection of the splash pages to the final sections of Will Eisner's Spirit in which Wood did most of the art.

Ghost Manor Story

Former Woodworker Wayne Howard did a lot of Wood-esque artwork for Charlton's various spooky titles. Here's one by Wood himself!

UPDATE: Alan Kupperberg assures us that, in spite of Wood's solo signature on this piece, the actual pencils are from his (and Woody's) early seventies studio mate, Jack Abel.

Sky Masters Original Art


Ferran Delgado, Publisher of the lovely Spanish collection of SKY MASTERS OF THE SPACE FORCE, the controversial (for behind the scenes stuff, not anything in the plot) strip drawn by Jack Kirby and Wally Wood beginning in 1958, has posted on his own blog as well as at COMIC ART FANS and in the Wally Wood Yahoo group the strip seen here, his first acquisition of original art from SKY MASTERS. Hopefully he doesn't mind my sharing it with Wood fans here, also.

"This strip is very special to me because I edited the spanish edition of the Sky Masters, and I spent lots of time and efforts to pay tribute to one of the best strips ever made, although unfortunately one of the less known. I'd like to think that I helped to widespread it, at least in Spain.

Now at last I feel that my collection is complete, and I can retire of the hobby."
