But time and pressure has straightened it out and the mustiness is now gone (for the most part). I sure didn't pay much for it but online I see it for large dollars. Not mine I suspect. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-10035934332613152762016-10-19T13:52:10.127-04:002016-10-19T13:52:10.127-04:00I remember seeing this book at a comic mart in The...I remember seeing this book at a comic mart in The Royal Stuart Hotel in Glasgow in 1982.

I wish it could happen. I dug out his Wizard King stuff and gave them another read a few weeks ago and might get around to posting about them. It's too bad that for all his talent Wood never got around to finishing that series properly. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-16481063429378234492016-10-18T06:43:46.976-04:002016-10-18T06:43:46.976-04:00It was his favorite genre and if Marvel hadn't...It was his favorite genre and if Marvel hadn't converted this book to all-reprint, he would've done more. He also did a number of S&S tales for Warren, including "Prelude to Armageddon" a pretty ambitious epic. There was also his Tolkien satire in Plop! And of course the Wizard King, which he worked on for basically his entire life. All of the diminutive, elfin (and cynical) protagonists from Odkin to Bucky Ruckus were obvious self-portraits. I always thought Wood would've been great doing an adaptation of the Harvard Lampoon's irreverent "Bored of the Rings" which was making the rounds during the Tolkien revival of the late 60's.
