Spawn of Mars
Spawn of Mars: And Other Stories | Al Feldstein, Wallace Wood
6 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The science fiction genre owes a debt, especially visually, to EC Comics, and this highly anticipated Wallace Wood collection shows why. It features over two dozen comics stories drawn in Wood's meticulously detailed brushwork (his "lived in" spaceship interiors helped inspire Star Wars' Millennium Falcon). And with titles like Spawn of Mars, The Dark Side of the Moon, A Trip to a Star, The Invaders, The Secret of Saturns Ring, and The Two-Century Journey, how can you go wrong?

This great collection of stories incls. a biography on Wally Wood himself as well as a little on MC Gaines, and his son Bill Gaines, who took over EC after MC's death.
It was great to finally read about Wood b/c I always knew he had a troubled life and died young(ish, his 50s), but I never knew the details, including that he took his own life 😥
Wally Wood: you left behind a legacy that so many love and cherish. I wish you were here to see it RIP

My father has an artist's edition book of some of Wally Wood's stories--high quality life size photos of the original artwork, so one can see the notes and effects techniques used at the time, and you could read the comic just fine because the lettering was done by hand right on the original artwork. This story was among them

One of the many great stories on this collection. However: I had to laugh at how the women were written 😅
Let's just say karma gets our protagonist in the most poetic manner.

These stories are known for twist endings, hence the spoiler tag.
Couldn't help but snicker at the editor's note 😏

Forgot I had this from the library. Whoops.
A sci-fi anthology of stories illustrated by one of my favorite comic books illustrators, Wally Wood.

Old-timey space adventure comics are my jam. Excited about this purchase!!

gracetopia It bothers me that #litsy prioritizes a writer in this listing when it's a book of WALLY WOOD art so I am going to add some WALLY WOOD love up in here. #wallywood #wallacewood #comics 8y
