A riotous and raunchy no-holds barred spy romp featuring beautiful women, explosive gunplay, naked catfights, Hitler, death from above, and more naked women! Because Cannon first appeared in the US military newspaper Overseas Weeklyin the 1960s, it was not subject to the usual editorial censorship and legendary artist Wallace Wood took full advantage. Drawing from from newly unearthed source material, Fantagraphics Books will be producing the biggest, baddest, best-looking collection of Cannon, ever! [(W/A/CA) Wally Wood]

Wally Wood is one of the most celebrated comic artists of all time. His legendary career runs from the glory days of EC Comics' extraordinary line of science fiction titles to the brilliantly subversive Mad Comics (and, later, Mad Magazine). He produced extraordinary illustrations for magazines like Galaxy after EC folded, and worked on the some of the most fondly remembered stories published by Marvel Comics in the mid 1960s. He also co-created the Thunder Agents and was a pioneer in self-publishing. This massive tome is the American edition of a museum catalogue that accompanied a gigantic career retrospective on display in De Palma, Spain in 2010, the largest such exhibit ever devoted to this incredible artist.
