Here are the first photos from the prestigious Spanish Wallace Wood art exhibit-the first ever museum exhibit of its type dedicated to the EC artist known for his sci-fi scenes, his buxom women, his Mad humor, Witzend, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and the Wizard King.

Wood’s art can, naturally, be found in something entitled The Illustrated History of Science Fiction Comics and here are the first couple chapters from the book with that name.
