Check out this very nice BRONZE AGE 1976 Science Fiction House of Mystery #251 page, which was penciled and inked by the great Wally Wood, from the story titled: "The Collector!" Wally Wood's sense of humor prevailed, even as failing health during the 1970s left comics master Wood frail and often embittered against the commercial publishing industry. If he enjoyed a new assignment, Wood would summon his reserves of artistic energy against formidable odds. The classic Wood wit shines throughout this late-in-life, MAD-style job for big-gun DC Comics: Not only did Wood flesh out the original loose-pencil breakdowns by Sirois from other separate drawings (Sirois was an assistant in Wood's studio), but Wood also delivered a brushed-ink job as polished as anything he had done during his heyday of the 1950s-1960s. Finer details among these high-energy pages include a cameo appearance here by the Underground Comix character known as Wonder Wart-Hog, a creation of Wood's counterculture admirer, Gilbert Shelton. Ink and shading film over blue pencil and graphite on Bristol board. Compare this great page to the published comic book page in the red link above.
