BIG APPLE COMIX "My Word"

Wally Wood was not above spoofing himself...
...as this never-reprinted reworking of his classic "My World" from EC's Weird Science #22 (1953) proves!
As a look into Wood's psyche, it's frightening.
As art, it's beautirful!

BIG APPLE COMIX "Over and Under"

Here's a fascinating side-by-side comparison...
...of life at the opposite ends of the social and financial spectrums in 1970s NYC!
The left side of the pages is illustrated by Neal Adams, the right side was penciled by Larry Hama and inked by Ralph Reese, both of whom had apprenticed under Wally Wood!
As for who wrote it, well, that's not entirely clear!
It could be the three artists co-wrote the tale (they all have solo writing credits), or any two of the three, or even any one of them..or someone else entirely, like Archie Goodwin, who also contributed to the book!
I'm afraid we'll never know...
