Whatever you call it, Wood's \u003ci\u003ewitzend\u003c\/i\u003e was a mid-'60s milestone event that represented all of the loftiest Fine Art goals of the Underground Movement including art-for-art's-sake, freedom from censorship, and creator rights. The vast majority of the underground comix movement creators were directly inspired by the EC Comics and Mad work of Wallace Wood and Harvey Kurtzman (as well as psychedelics). Until R. Crumb's later and eminently notable Zap Comix, no underground had the impact of \u003ci\u003ewitzend\u003c\/i\u003e which combined top-flight comics pros like Wood, Frazetta, Steranko and Ditko side-by-side with up-and-coming Undergrounders like Art Spiegelman (\u003ci\u003eMaus\u003c\/i\u003e) and Vaughn Bode (\u003ci\u003eCheech Wizard\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time ever, this single volume collects all of Wood's own contributions to his groundbreaking publication including \u003ci\u003eAniman, Sally Forth, The Rejects, Bucky Ruckus, Pipsqueek Papers, The Wizard King, Snorky, Lunar Tunes\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Vanguard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50893761872146,"sku":"9781934331910","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a5800990-29ad-422c-9c52-8281a2f17d33.jpg?v=1738237186","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/wally-wood-from-witzend-complete-collection-9781934331910","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
