Book in the The Wizard King Trilogy Series).

Wood's last work, The Wizard King was a planned trilogy. Both parody (the Immi, the race of the protagonist Odkin the Sly, are clearly based on another short race featured in an epic trilogy) and literary criticism (the traditional heroes of fantasy epics are replaced with flawed, but likable characters who do heroic things out of necessity), with beautiful artwork.

Being a king make you can travel through the world and choose the strongest people in the sub-worlds as retinues. As long as countries are established in different dimension spaces, they can integrate their resources, land, civilization, and cultivation system into their own king’s world to expand their territories and accelerate the process of civilization.

Wallace Wood, I imagine, is turning over in his grave. He just has to be. I just recently purchased this version of The Wizard King, in part because I am a huge fan of Wallace Wood, and in part because I had an original version of the colored version back from 1978 that unfortunately is falling apart due to the glue drying out. I excitedly ran home for lunch when I got the email telling me that UPS had delivered it. I tore open the package and started to leaf through it. But something seemed odd and different. So, I found the previous version of The Wizard King I owned and looked at the same pages to compare. And yup sure enough, someone had altered the coloring to include... for lack of a better phrase... silhouette swimsuits on all the female characters.

I am not pleased at all. First, of all, I find it completely unnecessary, as the nudity as it was originally presented is extremely tame and demure. And it was very obviously done after the fact as it doesn't fit in at all with the original pen and ink work or even the original coloring. Second, I am very unhappy that the publisher didn't make sure to make a point of stating that the art had been (obliterated, disfigured, massacred) changed from the original. I have read (now, unfortunately) that it was the Asian printer who took offense and changed the art. Well, fine, but that doesn't absolve the publisher of his/her responsibility. It's like someone came along and defaced the pages by drawing mustaches on all the characters with crayons.

I'm really torn as I don't know how to rate this in terms of stars. Because of Wood, it deserves 4 or 5 stars, because I'm a huge fan. But the hack job done by whomever is unconscionable. Furthermore I place almost as much blame on the publisher for either letting it happen, and/or not making sure all hard-working Wally Wood fans eager to spend their money knew exactly that the copy of The Wizard King they want to order would contain some "extra" flourishes.

Sadder still is the fact that I have the second volume on order and it should be arriving tonight.I wonder if all the female characters will be adorned with floor length dresses, parkas, and stocking caps just to make sure all the bad bits are covered up. Just... soooooooo.... disappointing.

This material originally appeared in black and white and apparently Wood's wife Tatjana colorized it. Although the coloring is mostly fine, she appears to have worried about nudity and painted one-piece bathing suits onto female figures! It's not QUITE the equivalent of painting pants on the Sistine Chapel figures - but only because this is not some of Wallace Wood's best work! A few pages are simply oversized text or blown-up sketches. Another irritation is the publisher's reminders of the material we missed by not buying the deluxe edition (the 'picto-fiction' version of the story, available in its entirety in "Woodwork" and partially sprinkled through this edition to pad out the volume!!!)

"Wally" Wood was one of the greatest comic-book artists of the 20th century, standing directly alongside greats Jack Kirby and Will Eisner. Famed for his amazingly detailed sci-fi work, particularly for EC comics, Wood also created some marvelous heroic fantasy for the Marvel and Warren lines. Frustrated by low pay and corporate-art strictures Wood created the "pro-zine" Witzend in 1966. A predecessor of `adult' comix like HEAVY METAL, the magazine published experimental and controversial material, including the stories collected here.

Wood recognized the popularity of Tolkien-esque fantasy and "The Wizard King" was intended to be an irreverent take on the genre, with anti-heroic characters and ironic plot twists. Unfortunately there's a lot of repetition and the story never even quite meets the standard set by his stories in the mainstream Marvel title, "Tower of Shadows." Wood's fantasies for EERIE and CREEPY are much better - the influence of writer Archie Goodwin is missing here.

Fun read.

Wallace Wood has always been a favorite graphic novel artists and story teller of mine. The images he pens are unique and stunning, walking a think line between pornography and art. It's a shame he didn't live long enough to finish this tale. Years ago when it was first published in one volume it was in color. I had bought it then and I figure some day that and these two separate volumes will really be worth some thing. Thanks Wally...
