THE COMPLETE WITZEND…..two volumes in a box published by Fantagraphics in 2014
This is a 9 by 12.5 by 2.75 inch BOX containing two 8.5 by 12 inch hardcover books with 296 pages each, reprinting every page of Witzend, every one of the 13 issues, This 2014 deluxe edition was produced by Fantagraphics publishing Company. The scan of the book two cover was made from my personal set. I received a few extra copies of the set when published, and this set is one of them, in Mint, unwrapped condition.. This was a very expensive set of books in an illustrated box to publish so Fantagraphics only had printed as many copies as they knew for sure they could sell immediately. Not everyone who wanted a set managed to get one, and a second edition was not considered feasible. Just as the original issues of the 13 magazines are rare collectibles now, this set, ten years old, is too. I have one set available at an outrageous price. By the way, I had my friend Richard Bassford create two new covers for the books. They have not been published elsewhere. If you buy more that one book, a refund from the single package postage cost will be sent.

Lunar Tunes by Wallace Wood
Lunar Tunes is a loosely contrived stream of consciousness series of episodes that really isn’t a story at all, just the last gasp of a creative genius.

FANCY ANIMALS…HUMAN BEANS…NAKED ALIENS…by Bill Pearson and Wallace Wood
This is a three portfolio set (sold as a set only) published in 2002, with very low distribution, twelve plates in each envelope. 8.5 by 11 inch black and white plates. Woody showed up at my apartment the day before Christmas (his last Christmas) a surprise because he was living hundreds of miles away at the time. It was snowing so we were stuck there in my place for three days. Included in this set is the story of that visit, in which, out of desperation, I showed him one of my sketchbooks and asked for his opinion of how I could turn the sketches into finished drawings. He had been sitting at my drawing board most of the time, a place where he felt comfortable. He’d lost his sight in one eye after a stroke, but my drawings were large, and I won my secret bet that he couldn’t resist putting some ink on those sketches. He looked through several of the sketchbooks, and ended up inking about 40 drawings. Years later I finished them (backgrounds, connecting lines that didn’t quite come together) gave them names, and had them published in these three portfolios. Some nudes, but not pornographic…rather amusing, Wood’s and my sense of humor. If you buy more that one book, a refund from the single package postage cost will be sent.
