Wally's World
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.
