wally wood letters
#18 - February 6, 1981

I heard from mutual friends that
Wally Wood was ill, and I wrote to him expressing my concern.

Dear John,
You must get a lot of 'Dear John' letters.
Gee, it's been a while since I heard from you.
I've moved since I last wrote... For the time
being I'm in Liverpool, which is near Syracuse.

Yeah, I'm not feeling well . . and I won't feel better until I get a kidney transplant. I'm going to use the VA hospital here, and the dr. tells me my kidneys are only working 10% . . .

But I'm still working... Wizard King 2 will be out in a couple of months, and I have WK 3 about 1/2 done now.

Keep in touch. Is that sketch on your letter
supposed to be me?

Best

Woody

Wally WoodThis was the last letter I received from Wally Wood. He moved to Van Nuys, California shortly after he wrote this letter to try to sell The Wizard King as an animated project.

On November 2, 1981, apparently despondent over his failing eyesight and kidneys, Wally Wood took his own life.

I was very fortunate. I "knew" Wally Wood from a distance of pen and paper. I never met him face to face, had a cup of coffee and asked him to sign a copy of Weird Science # 22.

But I did know of his frustrations and much more importantly to me, his drive and excitement to succeed and his optimism for the future.
