Harvey Kurtzman on artist Wallace ‘Wally’ Wood:
“Wally Wood was a workhorse and I feel that Wally devoted himself so intensely to his work that he burned himself out. He overworked his body. That’s my own observation. Wally had a tension in him, an intensity that he locked away in an internal steam boiler, and I always had the feeling that Wally was capable of erupting — which he apparently did occasionally — but he had that quality of frustration and tension and I think it ate away his insides and the work really used him up. I think he delivered some of the finest work that was ever drawn, and I think it’s to his credit that he put so much intensity into his work at great sacrifices to himself.”
