Weird Science Re-Creation by Gerry Acerno

Thanks to artist Gerry Acerno for allowing us to run his lovingly detailed re-creation of the cover of WEIRD SCIENCE # 20, (seen below) originally by Wallace Wood. Also seen here is Gerry's re-interpretation of that same cover!

Here's some more about Gerry here: http://www.comicarthouse.com/acerno.html

Gerry says, "They can contact me directly at acernoart@frontier.com for any commission needs."

Woody and Smoking

An interesting piece on smoking in comics over at CLOUD 109 offers several observations about Wood and a few photos also.

Wood's 22 Panels Revisited

Artist Rafael Kayanan --http://rafaelkayanan.blogspot.com/-- has taken the time to go through Wood's output and choose more specific examples for Woody's legendary "22 Panels That Always Work." What do you think? If you only know the artist for his comic book work, check out his blog for many examples of all different types of work. Good stuff!

RIP-WALLACE WOOD

Nearly three decades after his tragic suicide this week, let's celebrate instead the recognition that Wood's artwork continues to receive from fans old and new around the world. Steve Ditko always asks fans to allow his work to speak for him. Woody's work still speaks volumes! He was a troubled man at every stage but his women, his heroes, his creatures, his humor and his rockets will always be there to make us smile and remember him in the best possible ways.

Courtship in the Future

Is it wrong of me to be drawn more to the odd background sculpture than the girl in this GALAXY image?
