Mystic #52 - Wally Wood art

Mystic #652

Mystic v1 #52, 1956 - A fugitive from the law is inexplicably linked to a doll with his likeness. This short but exceptional Wally Wood tale takes great care and effort in the drawing of each panel. His opening scene presents the central character seeking help from a cult, his arrival lighting up the members sitting in a darkened room. The artist's masterful use of shadow permeates the entire story, especially the faces. Wood's effort arguably rivals some of his EC comics work. Other artists in this golden age comic include Pete Morisi, Reed Crandall, Mort Drucker, Bob Powell and John Forte. Cover by Bill Everett. This is 1 of 1 Mystic issues by Wood .
