a gorgeous Green Lantern page that was penciled by Gil Kane, with luscious Inks by Wally Wood.
Wow is this ever a pretty page. Wood made this look amazing. I’m not sure I want to read this issue in color.

Incredible Science Fiction, Vol. 1 # 33 by Wally Wood.
If non-fans ask about Wally Wood, I mention this cover and the Daredevil costume design. They’re like everything you need to know about the genius of Wally Wood.
This cover is his iconic image. Think of silver age Marvel covers. Lemme guess: Amazing Fantasy 15 and Fantastic Four # 1…. MAYBE the Iron Man suiting up cover.
OK, now think of ‘50s comics. It’s this one. This is the iconic jet-age/space-race era comic book cover. Or a variation on this one.
As for Daredevil and his design sense, an idiot will tell you that an all red costume with interlocking D’s is an easy design. How many characters have costumes that are one solid color, and are instantly iconic? How many characters can be recognized by a silhouette alone? Not as many as you’d think. It’s iconic, it’s easy to replicate for multiple artists, and it’s basically an open template for figure drawing. And no other character can pull off one solid color head to toe as their costume.
that’s Wally Wood for you.
