Few comics creators have been lauded as the kind of iconoclast and innovator Wally Wood\"\"<\/a> was. So, what more fitting a tribute than an a lovingly exacting, mega-sized Artist\u2019s Edition of his seminal work?<\/p>\n

\u201cWally Wood is absolutely one of my all-time favorites,\u201d said Artist\u2019s Edition editor Scott Dunbier, \u201cI love all these Artist\u2019s Editions but this is the one I\u2019ve been dying to have!\u201d<\/p>\n

As far as fan reaction to the book, Ain\u2019t It Cool News\u2019 head honcho Harry Knowles tweeted \u201cHOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD! Just got the IDW Wally Wood EC Stories ARTIST’S EDITION… it’s the greatest anything ever\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Since their inception, IDW\u2019s Artist\u2019s Editions have been intended as eye-popping, brain-frying, must-have books for diehard comics fans; true artifacts and testaments to the artistic greatness of their subjects. As is often the case, IDW has upped the ante in order to pay proper tribute to the late, great Wally Wood. This particular volume has been kept to the high, precise standards of previous Artist\u2019s Editions, but due to the larger size of the original art, fans will be treated to a 15\u201d x 22\u201d monolith of illustrative achievement. Just like Wally Wood\u2019s legend, this book is just a little bigger than the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What is an Artist\u2019s Edition? Artist\u2019s Editions are printed the same size as the original art. While appearing to be in black & white, each page has been scanned in COLOR to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art\u2014for example, you are able to clearly see paste-overs, blue pencils in the art, editorial notes, art corrections. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board.<\/p>\n

Previous Artist\u2019s Editions include DAVE STEVENS\u2019 THE ROCKETEER: ARTIST\u2019S EDITION and WALTER SIMONSON\u2019S THE MIGHTY THOR: ARTIST\u2019S EDITION JOHN ROMITA\u2019S THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: ARTIST\u2019S EDITION, and WALLY WOOD\u2019S EC STORIES: THE ARTIST\u2019S EDITION.<\/p>\n

The ROCKETEER ARTIST\u2019S EDITION won two Eisner Awards last year, for Best Archival Project and Best Design.<\/p>\n
