for those of you who don't know who wally wood was, well...he's one of the legends in comic book and comic strip art. known mostly for his work on the old ec comics horror line--tales from the crypt, from the vault, weird science, etc.--and for being one of the original mad artists under harvey kurtzman, wally wood was also around during the silver age at marvel comics and did a bunch of work at dc as well. for me, his work on the spirit in outer space with will eisner stands out in that it was one of the first times i really noticed how an artists style could actually define an entire story.
