Two-Fisted Tales #30 - Wally Wood art

Two-Fisted Tales #30, 1952 - The boundaries between upper and lower classes are humorously exploited in this atypical medieval tale. Wally Wood straddles both the humor and war genres in his sensible illustrations. The artist sacrifices neither the dramatic lighting nor the intricate details of comparable EC works. Jack Davis executes one of his grittiest covers of the era, capturing the precise moment of a soldier's unintended and ultimately fatal mistake. Other artists in this issue include Ric Estrada, Gene Colan and Jack Davis (art & cover). Note: the interior page shown above is from a reprint rather than from an original. This is number 12 of 18 Two-Fisted Tales issues with Wood art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Wood or Two-Fisted Tales issues. See also this blog's Wood checklist.
