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 "Lotsa Yox Featuring Rodger Farnsworth USAAF"

Here's the entire never-reprinted tale...
..from the legendary one-shot underground title Big Apple Comix (1975)!
As to why it's here in Not Safe For Work, simple; it's the naked girl.
Writer/penciler Herb (Incredible Hulk) Trimpe was a major WWI aircraft buff. 
In fact, he had created a WWI aviator-hero strip in the vein of G-8 and His Battle Aces, as seen HERE!
So when the opportunity came to do something NYC-oriented, he thought of a humorous look at King Kong...from the aviators' viewpoint!
Of course, having the detail-oriented inks of Wally Wood, who had rendered numerous WWI dogfights in EC's Aces High and Warren's Blazing Combat didn't hurt, eh?

BIG APPLE COMIX "Tube"

For the first entry on this blog...
...we present a fanboy's wet-dream come true!
If you think the fanboy is a dead ringer for comics fan-turned-legendary professional writer-editor Roy Thomas, you'd be right!
Written by Wally Wood, illustrated by Al Williamson and Dan Green, this never-reprinted tale from Big Apple Comix (1975) is one of several that we can't run on our parent RetroBlog Atomic Kommie Comics because it contains nudity!
(Get some background on this HTF piece of comics history HERE!)
