Witzend #8 - Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta, Steve Ditko art

Witzend #8

Witzend v1 #8, 1971 - Opening the issue is the third installment of World of the Wizard King, a fantasy series populated with fine Wally Wood illustrations. A single page by Steve Ditko shows the artist's more humorous side, in a tale likely drawn a decade or two earlier. By far the best inclusion is an Edgar Allan Poe poem, magnificently drawn by Frank Frazetta. A more modern setting puts the words in a new context. Even in black and white, the artist demonstrates a high level of draftsmanship. These previously unpublished illustrations are also likely from an earlier decade. Other artists in this issue include Ralph Reese. This is 7 of 10 Witzend issues by Wood, 5 of 6 Witzend issues by Ditko and 5 of 5 Witzend issues by Frazetta.
