Description
Wally Wood - Mad #7 Complete 7-page Story "Smilin' Melvin" Original Art (EC, 1953). Zack Mosely's popular Smilin' Jack strip takes a blast of prop-wash from this "Smilin' Melvin" lampoon, piloted by the original Mad-men, Harvey Kurtzman and Wally Wood. Wood packs in the side-jokes and background business, drawing what he dubbed "clutter," and what Kurtzman termed "chicken fat," and things go from Smilin' Jack's CAVU to "Smilin' Melvin's" SNAFU. The image size of each page measures approximately 13" x 18". As an added art bonus, there are several great Wally Wood sketches on the backs of two of the pages. There is a piece out of the bottom border of page one; otherwise, the art is in Very Good condition. Don't miss this chance to win a classic of high-flying Mad humor, created by two of the greatest talents in the history of comics.More information about Wally Wood.
