Wally Wood
Wallace Allan Wood (June 17, 1927 – November 2, 1981) was an American comic book writer, artist and independent publisher, widely known for his work on EC Comics's titles such as ''Weird Science'', ''Weird Fantasy'', and ''MAD Magazine'' from its inception in 1952 until 1964, as well as for ''T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents'', and work for Warren Publishing's ''Creepy''. He drew a few early issues of Marvel's ''Daredevil'' and established the title character's distinctive red costume. Wood created and owned the long-running characters ''Sally Forth'' and ''Cannon''.He wrote, drew, and self-published two of the three graphic novels of his magnum opus, ''The Wizard King'' trilogy, about Odkin son of Odkin before his death by suicide.
Much of his early professional artwork is signed Wallace Wood; some people call him Wally Wood, a name he claimed to dislike. Within the comics community, he was also known as Woody, a name he sometimes used as a signature.
In addition to Wood's hundreds of comic book pages, he illustrated for books and magazines while also working in a variety of other areas – advertising; packaging and product illustrations; gag cartoons; record album covers; posters; syndicated comic strips; and trading cards, including work on Topps's landmark ''Mars Attacks'' set.
EC publisher William Gaines once stated, "Wally may have been our most troubled artist ... I'm not suggesting any connection, but he may have been our most brilliant".
He was the inaugural inductee into the comic book industry's Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1989, and was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1992. Provided by Wikipedia
