The thing that is truly amazing about Wood's tonal work -- something I did not realize until I acquired the original art to the "MAD Comic Opera" several years ago -- is that much of it, such as the piece Nathan posted above, is done on Craftint boards. That's a chemically treated paper, like the Duoshade I used back on NAMOR and OMAC.

So, while my Spider-Man piece is done with multiple layers of gray tones, Wood was working with TWO. That remarkable piece, above, has only four "colors" -- black, white, and two shades of gray!!

That is totally mind-blowing!
