Against The Grain MAD Artist Wallace Wood Ltd HC

Description

A look back at the life and career of one of the 20th Century's great creative talents. In addition to a nostalgic memoir of life at the Wally Wood Studio, former Wood associate Bhob Stewart provides a biographical portrait, tracing Wood's life from rural Minnesota to Manhattan canyons. Illustrated with previously unseen family photos and curious comics characters Wood drew during the 1930s and 1940s, this biography explores the humorous spirit, dark detours and psychological twists of a gifted maverick who often went against the grain to carve his own distinguished niche in American popular culture.
