This book is a version of Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde. Art is credited to Wally Wood. Wood may have inked some of it, but these are not Wood's pencils. The panels are not Wood's style at all.
   By crashryan
This is a reprint of early work by Wood (1950) originally published in Fox's "Star Presentation" #3. It was reprinted in 1952 in Star's "Startling Terror Tales" #10, which we have on site. The GCD and others have speculated the story was pencilled by Harry Harrison. It could be, but in 1950 Wood's art was still crude. This could be mostly his work. There is a strong Will Eisner influence on many pages. (The original version of this comment seems not to have taken...apologies if there are two.)
   By The Australian Panther
Crash said, ['There is a strong Will Eisner influence on many pages.'] I agree, I almost pointed that out. I would hazard that this was one of those jobs that the original commissioned artist - for whatever reason - needed help to get out on deadline - and many hands pitched in to help. Wood got credited - and maybe paid- for the work. This happened more than is realized, I think,and is one of the elements that make identifying artists so difficult.
