| 1. Wally Wood Sketchbook |

2001-05
Don't get me wrong, I am a great appreciator of Wally Wood's art, but this sketchbook is just that, rough sketches. If you thought you might see some unused covers, or detailed drawings that Wood just did for pleasure, there are a few, but not much. Most of these sketches are pretty bare bones, just Wood scratching out some ideas, and many of the drawings have hardly any intrinsic interest at all... more

| 2. Wally's World: The Brilliant Life and Tragic Death of Wally Wood, the World's 2nd Best Comic Book Artist | 
|
By: Steve Starger, J. David Spurlock
Publisher: Vanguard Productions
November 22, 2006
It always amazes me that two authors and a publisher would go to all the trouble of producing a book, and then neglect to do even the most basic proofreading and editing. There are countless typos in this book. In addition, as the other reviewers have pointed out, the layout makes it difficult to read at times. And finally, someone really needed to go through Starger and Spurlock's prose and remove... more

| 3. Wally Wood: Lunar Tunes | 
|
By: Wallace Wood
Publisher: Vanguard Productions (NJ)
2005-06
Wood, at his best, delivered stories with humor, adventure, and a few naughty bits of the clever kind. His characters and scenes could be complex and evocative, but still able to elicit a chuckle.
Unfortunately, none of that art or artisanship appears here. Instead, see his Naughty "Knotty" Woody, the bowdlerized The King of the World: The Wizard King Trilogy Book 1 (The Wizard King Trilogy)... more

I loved this book. I was a real trip down Memory Lane. The impact of the comics are of course different. When I was a kid, these were really serious and amazing stories; very realistic in my young mind. Even though they come across as over the top propaganda-ish material, they are still terribly fun. The art is always a joy to view. Wood had a real flair for this sort of thing and it really comes... more

| 6. The Compleat Cannon |
|
By: Wallace Wood
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
2001-05
Wally wood was an outstanding comic artist, possibly one who never received due praise during his life. Well, here's a chance to catch up.
This wonderful comic arose at the confluence of several forces. One was the "Comics Code," basically an industry self-censoring organization that arose after a series of bizarre 1950s excesses by the comic publishers as well as those convinced that... more

| 7. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents Archives Vol. 1 (Thunder Agents) | 
|
By: Wally Wood
Publisher: DC Comics
December 01, 2002
Dynamo, Mentor, Noman. When I discovered THUNDER Agents I felt like I had fallen into some alternate reality where Marvel and DC combined to create this series. This series has the anything can happen feel of DC's Silver Age along with the pathos of the early Marvels.
The art is top notch and the stoires feel like they are moving in a unified direction. A fun step away from the all too familiar... more
