Wallace Allan Wood (1927-1981) is widely considered to be America's greatest science fiction cartoonist. But Wood could -- and did -- do it all: humor (a founding cartoonist of Mad), crime, superheroes, romance, war. He was also a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine witzend. Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1992. Albert B. Feldstein (1928-2014; Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame, 2003) was a triple-threat writer, artist, and editor, renowned for his work on such titles as Weird Science, Tales From the Crypt, and Mad magazine. He received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011.
...[Wood's] stories for Weird Science and Weird Fantasy number
among the most beautiful the medium have ever seen, the panels
filled with grotesque monsters, finely-chiseled spacemen,
breathtaking damsels, absurdly detailed machinery, and jaw-dropping
otherworldly vistas.--Patrick A. Reed "ComicsAlliance"
Spawn of Mars is how you do a classic comic collection right. Not
only are the stories collected here all extremely entertaining, but
they also showcase one of the genre's most prodigiously innovative
talents at the height of his powers. ... Fantagraphics has done the
literary world a great service with their collections, this one
included. Anyone even remotely interested in classic
science-fiction - pulp or otherwise - will find themselves in pure
heaven picking them up.--Trent McGee "Popzara"
