I'm surprised you didn't include any of DC's Challengers of the Unknown, the only time that I'm aware of that Wood inked Jack Kirby's pencils...sublime comic art

I used from the various Wood images I had. Also I was going with totaly Wood or Wood pencils. Though we both know Wood inked Kirby a few articles didn't list his inks over Kirby.

One of the best in comics. His EC art is what inspires me to draw every day. We miss you, Mr. Wood.

@theshadow1932 I would agree, the Kirby/Wood combination is my all time favorite in comic art. Dick Ayers was really good too.

There's an article about ithe strip on wikipedia and you can find a couple of collections on Amazon. Kirby and Wood were a great team. Wood really brought Kirbys' pencils to life; giving them an organic, naturalistic quality that no inker since Simon even approached.

@theshadow1932 wow, thanks, I would love to see those old comics.

@pretorious700 Actually, he and Kirby did the 'Sky Masters' strip together.

Actually, I think the Superman theme is appropriate. He always wanted to draw the character, and in fact inked Superboy, drew the golden age Superman in All-Star JSA, and did the MAD parody. Woody and Al WIlliamson are my favorite comic artists.

Yes, Wally copyrighted and trademarked Sally Forth. So how, then, did a newspaper comic strip come out a little while back called Sally Forth?

I doubt that the same trick could have been pulled in the newspapers after Joe and Jerry passed, with some newbie printing a strip called Superman!

BTW, loved the vid, but there were a couple glitches, like one of those Daredevil covers was by Gene Colan. And to bring up Superman again, why use the Superman movie theme? Wally never drew Superman!

W. Wood was awesome. To look at his work in black and white - it's simply amazing. Cool montage!
