      One of Wally’s war comics for EC. None of that “glory of noble combat” stuff here, the situation feels authentic, and the action messy and desperate.pic.twitter.com/wn22H9TYF5

      And if course, he worked for EC Comics, so he was gonna inevitably wind up drawing a zombie or two.pic.twitter.com/wjVOv4Zfgp

      And hey, here was an unexpected treat: I had no idea Wally and EC had adapted Bradbury‘s “There Will Come Soft Rains,” which was pretty much required reading for any kid growing up during the Cold War.pic.twitter.com/rKOqPprXbE

      Some would argue, and not entirely without merit, but this was pretty much the best it got for Wally. Surrounded by peers who considered him an equal, and employed by a boss who valued and appreciated his work immensely. EC Comics would become defunct as a publisher in 1956.pic.twitter.com/QwCmixUB3E

      After EC essentially folded, Wally we continue to produce for newspaper strips, article illustrations,magazines, and Mad Magazine. Providing a hand for scale there just so you can see how goddamn huge those Prince Valiant originals are.pic.twitter.com/nJlMlolNOQ

      Perhaps you might have also noticed that Wally is getting exactly zero goddamn credit for the work he did on that Prince Valiant comic. This is going to be a recurring theme. Strap in.

      But before things get all TOO dire, a goofy series I liked a lot: a “Aren’t the kids of today going to make for RIDICULOUS adults if they don’t change?!” set from the mid-century. People have always done this. Always.pic.twitter.com/ptLHQzTAnt

      These caption says... A lot. And there was exactly one not-very-remarkable page of Daredevil on display in the entire exhibition, which also probably says a lot. The CliffsNotes version is, Cuddly Comics Grandpa wasn’t crazy about crediting other people.pic.twitter.com/kcJoSJ1C0k

      Replying to @Iron_Spike

      Lee was terrible about this stuff. The full story is more horrible than people know.
