Wally Wood (a & c)
The third IDWArtist’s Edition (Following Dave
Steven’s Rocketeer and Walter Simonson’s Thor)
focuses on one of the all time greatest comic book artists, and at
the absolute peak of his creative powers: Wally
Wood. EC Comics was quite likely the finest comics line
ever produced, and Wally Wood was one of their
mainstays who set an incredibly high artistic standard. This volume
will contain a wonderful selection of stories in original art form
by Wood, including: MY WORLD, CAME THE DAWN, MARS IS HEAVEN, HE
WALKED AMONG US, and more. Additionally, there will be a
fantastic cover gallery section by Wood. If you’ve never seen
Wood original art, you’ve never seen Wally
Wood!
NOTE: Artist’s Editions are printed the same size as the
original art. The art from this book was drawn in the 1950s, at a
time when original art was produced “TWICE UP” (meaning
twice printed size), as opposed to today’s one and a half up
(50% larger than printed size). So this Artist’s Edition will
measure an INSANE 15” x 22!”

Cult favorite Bob Powell was a master 1950s

discovered manuscript about his work penned by Powell himself.

flawless reproductions of Powell's original art. Bob Powell's
Terror prints a generous amount of horror comic stories
carefully scanned and reproduced from vintage horror-era comics,
many of them quite rare and expensive—if you could even find
them!
