1981- WALLY WOOD was one of the most influential cartoonists
of the 1950’s and 60’s. His amazing versatility enabled him to draw everything
from superhero comics to very cartoony to playfully naughty girls like Sally
Forth. He drew EC Comics, the Mars Attacks series, Mad Magazine, Weird Science,
THUNDER Agents and much more. He had done an infamous drawing of the Disney
characters having sex that brought down upon him the wrath of the Disney legal
dept. But hard living and deadlines took their toll. Suffering from a stroke,
and failing kidneys, Wally Wood put a 44 cal pistol to his right temple and
pulled the trigger. Today police found his remains.
