Wally Wood from Witzend
Complete Collection
Hall of Fame comics creator Wallace Wood's revolutionary, self-published Witzend (often spelled in all lower case) has always been hard to define — the birth of the pro-zine, underground, independent... Whatever you call it, Wood’s Witzend was a mid-'60s milestone event that represented all of the loftiest Fine Art goals of the Underground Movement including art-for-art’s-sake, freedom from censorship, and creator rights. The vast majority of the underground comix movement creators were directly inspired by the EC Comics and Mad work of Wallace Wood and Harvey Kurtzman (as well as psychedelics). Until R. Crumb’s later and eminently notable Zap Comix, no underground had the impact of witzend which combined top-flight comics pros like Wood, Frazetta, Steranko and Ditko side-by-side with up-and-coming Undergrounders like Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Vaughn Bode (Cheech Wizard).
For the first time ever, this single volume collects all of Wood's own contributions to his groundbreaking publication including Animan, Sally Forth, The Rejects, Bucky Ruckus, Pipsqueek Papers, The Wizard King, Snorky, Lunar Tunes, and more. All in glorious black and white like the original magazines but on quality art paper and hardbound to last a lifetime.

Before Marvel’s Wolverine, before DC’s Animal Man, Hall of Fame comics creator Wallace “Wally” Wood created Animan! After years of development, shortly after leaving Daredevil to launch the THUNDER Agents, Wood unveiled his Animan masterpiece in early issues of his ground-breaking self-published magazine, Witzend. Vanguard continues their Wood Classics series with nearly 200 pages of Wood jungle comics spanning from the Golden Age through the 1960s with Animan, Jim King, Sabu, Jungle Princess, and much more.

The Brilliant Life & Tragic Death of Wally Wood, the World's 2nd Best Comic Book Artist
Art by Wally Wood
By J. David Spurlock & Bill Pearson
Introduction by Peter Max
Wally's World opens Halloween night, 1981, in a seedy world of pornographers and drug addicts, with a mysterious death by .44 magnum gunshot on the outskirts of Hollywood? This is no mystery club thriller but the true, dramatic, gut wrenching illustrated biography of legendary cartoonist-illustrator Wallace Wood. But his death, in semi-squalid surroundings and the wretched state of his body belie the glory that came before. Within the world of pop-art, Wood was revered as a rebel genius--akin to Jack Kerouac, James Dean and John Lennon--who led the way for, and inspired, a generation, including "underground" cartoonists Robert Crumb, Bill Griffith (Zippy) and Pulitzer Prize winner Art Spiegelman (Maus). The award-winning Wood rose to the pinnacle of pop-culture stardom with a brilliant career as one of America's top humorists and MAD magazine's first star cartoonist. The artist also excelled as a cutting-edge science-fiction illustrator and mainstream regaler of daring superhero deeds. Wood was sought out to collaborate with pop-art maestro Peter Max; animated filmmaker Ralph Bakshi; Harry Harrison, the Nebula Award winning author of the Charlton Heston sci-fi thriller, Soylent Green; Marvel comics creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and Pulitzer Prize winner Jules Feiffer. But the superstar of the illustrated page was haunted by more than his share of demons--demons that ultimately tore him from his creative peaks to die an early death on the outskirts of Hollywood.

The King of the World
Art by Wally Wood
The King of the World, volume I of Wallace Wood's The Wizard King trilogy, is similar in tone and setting to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. MAD magazine and Daredevil comics artist extraordinaire, Wally Wood, takes us on a magical journey filled with elves, warriors, wizards, maidens, Unmen and kings!
The Immi, a medieval society of elves, lived deep in the forest, completely isolated from the rest of the world, and were happy until a strange shadow fell over their village: a shadow with EYES! A young Immi known as Odkin is tricked into volunteering to investigate, and is drawn into the intrigues of Alacazar the wizard to save the world from Anark, the blackest villain of all space and time. Through his journey, Odkin meets and enlists the aid of Iron Aron, Lord Vandall and Weer the lizard man, and saves the Immi from the monstrous Unmen, but is then ordered by Alacazar to face even greater perils!
When legendary cartoonist Wally Wood became Mad magazine's first star artist he had already revolutionized comic books with his Weird Science sci-fi work which put him on Entertainment Weekly's all-time top-100 list. Wood co-created Mars Attacks for bubble gum cards and the movie, designed the super-collectible Fireball XL-5 lunchbox, and the red costume as used in the comics and major motion picture, Daredevil . He also produced art for an unfinished film collaboration based on his Wizard King-King of the World graphic novel, with Fritz the Cat, Wizards, Lord of the Rings, and Cool World film maker Ralph Bakshi!
