Captain Action #2 - Wally Wood art

Captain Action #2

Captain Action v1 #2, 1969 - Although Wally Wood completed the first issue on his own, here he relinquishes the pencils to colleague Gil Kane. The results are more dimensional and dynamic pages. Kane's figure drawings are infused with a confident knowledge of anatomy. Counter-balancing his explosive layouts are two comparatively calm opening splash pages. Wood's superb inking not only adds detail where needed, but provides the definition and polish that makes this effort exceptional. Of their frequent collaborations during this era, this issue represents some their best work together. Other artists in this silver age comic include cover creator Gil Kane. This is 2 of 4 Captain Action issues by Wood.
