Wally Wood
Plop #16, 1975Wally Wood continues the odd menagerie of weird characters on every cover of Plop. Interestingly, he suppresses his own style and mimics Basil Wolverton's earlier works on the title. Inside, he pairs up with Steve Ditko to illustrate a love story between an unlovable man and his dandelion. Steve Skeates' humorous script is enhanced by numerous well-executed sight gags. Wood's penchant for beautiful women is also present, reinforcing the irony of the story (see interior page shown below). As usual, the collaboration of these two artists rarely disappoints. This story was later reprinted in Best of DC #63. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Ric Estrada, Sergio Aragones and others. This is 4 of 11 Plop issues by Wood and 1 of 1 Plop issues by Ditko.
