I love Wood, but I think his figures could sometimes look a little stiff. Almost as if they were drawn separately and then dropped into the background. I kind of think that's the case here. I never get that feeling with, say, Kirby -- although you could certainly argue that Wood was the better artist overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that feeling with some of his work, too... a really good example is the woman on WS 22... (not my copy): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find a lot of his figures a bit stiff (almost out of place), yet he is still one, if not my favorite artist. Great books everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Jayman said: Another claustrophobic choice... Weird Science 9 and Incredible Science-Fiction 33 have recently been posted, and WS 19 makes three out of three EC covers in which Wood makes use of the "spaceship interior with large circular window" motif. Frazetta's Famous Funnies 213 is allegedly an homage to Wood's design. Jayman, Larryw7 and jimjum12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
