Shock Suspenstories #2 - Wally Wood art & cover

Wally Wood

Shock Suspenstories v1 #2, 1952 - A space crew lands on an undiscovered planet and are attacked one by one by an unseen force. In Wally Wood's first effort on the series, he shows a penchant for science fiction. His layouts are adequate, but his futuristic renditions make up for of it. On the other hand, the artist's forceful cover of anti-immigrant violence is a tour-de-force. Note the hunched-over old man brandishing a flag (left side) who clearly revels in it. Sadly, this disturbing image of bigotry and hatred is still relevant today. Other artists in this golden age comic include Jack Davis, Graham Ingels and Jack Kamen. This is 1 of 14 Shock Suspenstories issues by Wood.
