Wally Wood

Wallace Allan Wood (1927–1981) is widely considered to be America’s greatest science fiction cartoonist. But Wood could — and did — do it all: humor (a founding cartoonist of Mad), crime, superheroes, romance, war. He was also a pioneering alternative/underground cartoonist/publisher with his magazine witzend. 

Among many other honors, he was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1992.
