POST # 6 - "THE CURSE" by Wally Wood




Greetings to you, comic art lover!

I am
THE
APOCOLYTE!

Today you are privileged to see one of the greatest examples of black and white sequential graphic storytelling ever published!




Short and sweet of it  --  Wally Wood is probably my # 1 favorite comic artist of all time. Even though he is famous for his regular four-color comics, Wood was undoubtably a master at using light and shadow to create his 3D like drawings. The heart and soul of his style is based on this manipulation of white and black spaces on the comic book page. That is why any work Wood did can generally stand on it's own, in black and white, sans color.

This story, done for VAMPIRELLA #9 in 1971, was specifically drawn for black and white reproduction. I have always loved this story, since the first time I read it. It is one of Wood's all-time best.
Here then is Wally Wood's  -  

THE CURSE!
