Description
Wally Wood Witzend Proto-Underground Character Designs Preliminary Original Art (Witzend Publ., 1965-66). The little guy with the big wicked smirk (upper blue-line section) is Bucky Ruckus, Wood's pint-sized spoof of spacemen Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Bucky is surrounded by his heroic entourage. Below are Wood's erotic-fairytale characters, Nudine and Pip the Pipsqueak. One can almost hear her objecting, "I love you, too, Pip, but you're just a baby man." All commanded much of Wood's time and energy while he was inventing the groundbreaking magazine called Witzend, a privately circulated backlash against the conservatism of commercial comic-book publishing. A herald of the Underground Comix movement, in other words. Blue pencil and graphite on Eaton's Corrasable Typewriter Bond. Image area, 8.5" x 1". Light age-toning. Excellent condition.More information about Wally Wood. See also: Wood, Wally, Wallace Wood Artist.
