Two-Fisted Tales #19 - Wally Wood art

Two-Fisted Tales #19

Two-Fisted Tales v1 #19, 1951 - In the 18th century, British warships often kidnapped young men for service on the high seas. The story of one particular man is visualized by Wally Wood. The artist is still honing his drawing skills, but improves from just the previous issue. His opening page is the most arresting, introducing the sadistic ship captain (see interior page below). The heavy inking resembles another EC colleague, Jack Davis, but it's clear Wood is trying to find his own voice. This story was later reprinted in Two-Fisted Tales v2 #2. Other artists in this comic include John Severin and Johnny Craig. Cover by Harvey Kurtzman. This is 2 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues by Wood. /// Wood gallery
