Before Marvel's Wolverine, before DC Comics' Animal Man, Hall of Fame comics creator Wallace (Wally) Wood created Animan! After years of evolution, shortly after leaving Marvel's Daredevil (where he added significantly to that character's creative development), to launch his creation, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents; Wood unveiled his Animan masterpiece in early issues of his ground-breaking self-published magazine, Witzend. Vanguard continues their Wood Classics series, following Wally Wood Strange World, Wally Wood Eerie Crime & Horror and Wally Wood Torrid Romance, with nearly 200 pages of Wood jungle comics spanning from the Golden Age through the 1960s including Animan, Jim King, Sabu, and much more. This book is authorized by the Wallace Wood Estate, owners of the registered trademark, WALLY WOOD.

In this previously unpublished work, comics legend Wallace (Wally) Wood combines the satirical wit and humor that made him a star at MAD with the far-out sci-fi settings that made him famous at EC. Created shortly before the comics genius's death, only a few Lunar Tunes sample pages saw print in the later issues of Witzend but Vanguard presents, for the first time anywhere, the complete Lunar Tunes. Classic Wood characters Bucky Ruckus, robot Iron Myron, Pip, Nudine and Snorky are joined in their cosmic excursions to the moon by a surreal parade including Russians, JFK, Bogart, Bob Hope, Elton John, Jack Webb, Patty Hurst, Playboy bunnies, Wally Wood himself and the Rolling Stones Lunar Tunes is a hilarious roller-coaster ride reminiscent of a late-60s-style cocktail party--complete with minor nudity.

Wallace Wood applied his preternaturally lush brushwork to over two dozen stories in the thematically overlapping ( dreadful things happen to people, both innocent and guilty ) horror, crime, and suspense genres. This work is the subject of one of the two premiere releases in Fantagraphics highly-anticipated new EC reprint line.

Taking its title from one of Wood s all-time classics, the evil little paranoid thriller Came the Dawn, this collection features page after page after page of Wood s sleek and meticulously crafted artwork put in the service of cunning twist-ending stories, most often from the typewriter of EC editor Al Feldstein.

These tales range from supernatural shockers from the pages of Tales From the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear ( The Living Corpse, Terror Ride, Man From the Grave, Horror in the Freak Tent ) to often pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories ( The Assault, The Whipping, and Confession, which was singled out for specific excoriation in the anti-comics screed Seduction of the Innocent, thus giving it a special cachet), but the breathtaking art and whiplash-inducing shock endings are constants throughout.

Like every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Came the Dawn will feature extensive essays and notes on these classic stories by EC experts but the real meat of the matter (sometimes literally, in the grislier stories) will be supplied by these ofted lurid, sometimes downright over-the-top, but always compelling and superbly crafted, classic comic-book masterpieces."

From EC Comics to Witzend, Sally Forth, MAD, Daredevil, Mars Attacks, Cannon, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, and more, this Eisner Award Hall of Fame Talent is one of the most noted comicbook creators ever.
