Dallas Fantasy Fair

CELEBRATING THE BRILLIANCE, CHARM, WIT & TALENTS of artist, writer, mentor, WALLACE WOOD on the 99th anniversary of his birth (6-17-27) and EVERYDAY. If it's Wood, it is GOOD!
Jack KIRBY called Wood "The Best."
Bill GAINES, founder of EC Comics & MAD Magazine said "Wally Wood would come in with a story and three artists would crowd around him and faint, just poring over every brushstroke and every panel, and of course Wally who’s getting this adulation sits there and loves it."
Will EISNER, "Wally [Wood] was a GENIUS. 30 years ahead of his time!"
Joe ORLANDO, VP DC Comics/Assoc Publisher of MAD: "What Star Wars was for sci-fi films, Wood was for sci-fi comics."
Steve DITKO, "Wood may be the top comic book artist...[and he] expanded the borders of comic books wider and deeper than Marvel and DC."
Frank FRAZETTA: "Wally was a man's man. No bu****it in him at all. Compared to Wally, everyone else is a hypocrite."
Howard CHAYKIN: "Everybody who actually met him, liked him. He had his problems, but he was a stand-up guy."
Jerry DeFUCCIO (MAD & EC writer-editor): "Wood was so good in so many areas -- science fiction, suspense, crime, and even in MAD. He worked very hard. ...never watched the clock. He was so intent on what he was putting into the panels. He gave them more artwork for the dollar than anybody."
