But Wood could — and did — do it all: humor (a founding cartoonist of \u003ci\u003eMAD\u003c\/i\u003e), crime, superheroes, romance, war. He was also a pioneering alternative\/underground cartoonist\/publisher with his magazine \u003ci\u003ewitzend\u003c\/i\u003e. Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1992.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBhob Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e (b. 1937, Kirbyville, Texas, d. 2014, Plymouth, Massachusetts) divided his time between mass and fan media. He was chiefly a writer and editor, although he also drew and acted. He is best known for founding one of the first comics fanzines, \u003ci\u003eEC Fan Bulletin\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1953; for coining the term “underground comics”; and for art-directing the Hugo Award-winning science fiction fanzine \u003ci\u003eXero\u003c\/i\u003e. Stewart invented the Wacky Packages trading card series for Topps, and wrote comics for clients such as Marvel and \u003ci\u003eHeavy Metal\u003c\/i\u003e. He worked in Wallace Wood’s studio for a time, and became the de facto steward of the influential EC cartoonist’s legacy. Co-author of \u003ci\u003eScream Queens\u003c\/i\u003e with Calvin Beck, he edited the \u003ci\u003eMad Style Guide\u003c\/i\u003e, and co-edited the seminal underground comics tabloid \u003ci\u003eGothic Blimp Works?\u003c\/i\u003e. As an educator, he taught courses in Boston and at the School of Visual Arts in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556311421089,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781683960683","price":48.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781683960683.jpg?v=1781811775","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-life-and-legend-of-wallace-wood-volume-2-hardcover-by-wallace-wood","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
