Wally Wood - Original Cover Art for Weird Scien
Wally Wood - Original Cover Art for Weird Science-Fantasy #23 (EC, 1954). One of Wally Wood's most intriguing concepts -- a spaceship crashes underwater -- also proves to be one of his most evocative covers for EC. From the dramatic posing of the dying astronauts to the shadowy city in the background, all rendered with Wood's legendary brushwork, this is one eerily beautiful cover. Wood's EC science fiction covers have been off the market for years (and most are still in the hands of private collectors), making this a rare treat which we are proud to offer. As is common for many EC covers, there are production notes in the margins, and some aspects of the cover have been inked in red to aid the engravers. Some light stains in the margins, but very little tanning. A truly stunning piece from the great Wally Wood. 15" x 22". Important notice: 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 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
