I really wish Wally Wood had done a good long run on a Superman book. This is from MAD.

I LOVED Wally Wood inking Ric Estrada on the 1970's ALL-STAR COMICS revival of the Justice Society--including the Earth 2 Superman!  Looked so classic!

It's from a 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special published in 1983.

Decades later I was told that the writer, learning “an American” was going to illustrate his story, declared he would write something “impossible to draw”.

If true, he did not succeed, tho it was one of the most BORING jobs I ever worked on.

I thought the two bad eggs in the foreground were telling the hood with the
doll to scram. That’s just how I hear Steranko artwork.

Love the Steranko, which I've never seen before. Love the Wally Wood, which I have.

Wood both pencilled and inked his final two issues of All-Star.  His Superman shows some strong Jack Burnley influence:

Wood also had a 9-issue run inking Superboy in 1969.  This included the infamous Superboy #158, the story in which it's revealed that Jor-El and Lara did not perish when Krypton exploded.

GCD says that, according to the Wallace Wood Checklist, Al Sirois assisted Wood with layouts, pencils and background inking.

I'm not sure this technically counts, so I'm not posting a picture, but the first time I saw JB's mohawk storm in Heroes for Hope starring the X-Men (years after it was published), struck me as really odd. As far as I'm aware, it's the only example of its kind...though I could be mistaken about that.

Frank Miller did some classic private detective/sleuth pin-ups for MS. TREE way back when.  I remember some letter writers HATING these!  I appreciated the interpretation.





Did you ever think you would see a Frank Miller Nancy Drew?!?
