Wallace Wood

    Wallace Wood è stato un prolifico creatore di fumetti americano, rinomato per il suo impatto lavorando con EC Comics e Mad. Il suo stile distintivo era caratterizzato da un'intensa dinamicità e da dettagli meticolosi che conferivano alle sue narrazioni un potente senso di urgenza. Wood esplorò un'ampia gamma di generi, dalla fantascienza all'horror, incanalando una profonda tensione interiore nella sua arte. Questa intensa dedizione, pur contribuendo alla sua genialità, comportò anche un notevole costo personale, lasciando un'eredità duratura nei fumetti e nelle arti visive attraverso le sue estese illustrazioni per vari media.

      Wally Wood: Jungle Adventures W/ Animan
    • When artist Wallace Wood teamed up with writer/editor Harvey Kurtzman to create stories, the result was some of the best war stories ever put to paper. Together, Wood and Kurtzman delivered outstanding, deeply human battle tales from the Civil War to World War I to World War II to Korea. Atom Bomb And Other Stories collects all the combat tales Wood and Kurtzman did together for EC’s Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat, plus other war stories Wood did for EC writer/editor Al Feldstein. Wood and Kurtzman pulled no punches in depicting the utter folly, madness, and horror of war — especially in the title story, which depicts the bombing of Nagasaki from the viewpoint of the victims on the ground — a shockingly controversial point of view in 1953!
