Wood kicked it off and invited his artist friends to participate. And he dominated the first few issues with fine all-new work. For the first time ever, ALL of Wood's \u003cem\u003ewitzend\u003c\/em\u003e work: the adventure strip Animan, the sexy Sally Forth, The Rejects, Bucky Ruckus, Pipsqueek Papers, The Wizard King, Snorky, Lunar Tunes, and more. Nudity.\n\nSpurlock adds commentary throughout the book to put many of the illustrations in proper context. This add greatly to understanding of Wood's life and work during this time. Wood was also working on Marvel's first issues of \u003cem\u003eDaredevil \u003c\/em\u003eand redesigning his costume to the present day red\/black design; writing and drawing much of the THUNDER AGENTS line; kicking off Sally Forth, etc.\n\nWood's \u003cem\u003eSpawn of Venus \u003c\/em\u003eis one of the rarest EC stories, done for EC's 3-D title. Its a knockout, displaying a more mature Wood style and it's here complete. Several episodes of Wizard King also offer a long, intimate look at this pet project of Woody's that was near and dear to him, an interesting mix of text and illustrations, more like a children's story book than a comic story.\n\nThis Slipcased Deluxe edition includes 16 bonus pages and variant covers. Also here is a fine new introduction by \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Spurlock\u003c\/strong\u003e, Wood's own prelim layouts, probably never before seen, and more bonus material.\n\n\"Wally Wood may be the top comic book artist for a unique style. With \u003cem\u003ewitzend\u003c\/em\u003e, Woody expanded the borders of comic books and deeper than Marvel and DC.\" — Steve Ditko\n\n\"I'm a Wally Wood fan. WITZEND!
