One of the classic old school greats of comic book illustration, Wallace Wood was also among the earliest champions of creator rights for cartoonists, and Witzend was perhaps his most important legacy in this regard.  Produced during the heyday of underground comics, Wood saw that "the kids" were taking control – and creative ownership – of their work.  As, of course, had his colleague, Harvey Kurtzman with Humbug & Help.  Witzend was Wood's contribution to evolving the commercial framework in which comics were made and sold, and the comics  and supporting material herein produced reflect these aims.  Fantagraphics has produced the definitive collection here in this full size, two-volume, slipcased edition.  And, realizing that they're going to have to go the extra mile to convince readers to part with the hefty chunk of change that is required to purchase this masterwork*, Fantagraphics has provided their biggest ever PDF preview.  Do yourself a favor and check it out.  *(here at Copacetic, we've done our part to ease the pain by offering an extra hefty discount).
