Wally Wood The Spirit Weekly Newspaper
Title Splash Page Original Art dated 9-7-52 (The Post-Standard,
1952). Following a legendary tenure at EC Comics and
MAD, and prior to his triumphant return to comics in the
early 1960s, Wally Wood, alongside Jules Feiffer, collaborated
briefly on Will Eisner's Spirit Sunday supplement. This partnership
resulted in some of the finest work of Wood's career. Tasked with
revitalizing the waning comic strip, Wood and Feiffer launched
Spirit into space in a six-story mini-run. This period showcased
Wood's unparalleled mastery of science fiction comics, marking
perhaps his most mature and creative phase. This title splash page,
concluding the series on September 7, 1952, features The Man in
the Moon. Ink on Bristol board with an image area of 13" x 16",
complete with original paste-ups, pinholes at the edges, and
whiteout. In Excellent condition.More information about Wally Wood. See also: Wood, Wally, Wallace Wood Artist.
