Wally Wood - 3-D EC Classics  V-Vampires  Art
<B>Wally Wood - Three Dimensional EC Classics "V-Vampires," page 4 Original Art (EC, 1954).</B></I> For EC's foray into the brief 3-D fad, four classic stories - one each from <B>Mad</B></I>, <B>Weird Science</B></I>, <B>Frontline Combat</B></I>, and <B>Crime SuspenStories</B></I> - were redrawn in this one-shot, published in the Spring of 1954. Here is page 4 of Wally Wood's retelling of his <B>Mad</B></I> #3 blood-sucking spoof, "V-Vampires." The art is rendered on Craftint paper and four pieces of acetate, each piece having art and consecutively numbered pages. The five pieces were then stapled together, with stunning results. The 3D effect is clearly evident and deep - you can practically step right into each scene! The art is vibrant and takes on a life of its own, and then there’s the "babe" - a Woody trademark. This page features a great, leggy, voluptuous female with a body "to kill for." This very unusual item comes from what most fans and comic art experts alike consider Wood’s peak period, and this page is among his most memorable. Aside from some normal aging of the acetate and some very minor paint loss, the piece is in Excellent condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auction Galleries. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auction Galleries, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
