Wally Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work

[Saturn Lad]

I've seen links to this scattered a few times through the forum, but the images have always been quite small. I managed to get a larger copy for those that don't have this hanging by their drawing table yet. Clicking the image will link you to the larger copy (360KB).

Cool!! I only had a teeny version!!

I can print this one out... Thanks!

I'm so glad someone put this link up again, as I had precisely this problem to overcome at the weekend. Too late now, but invaluable reference.

Thanks! I was looking and looking for this and couldn't find it, since I didn't remember who it was done by. Saved the large version. :)

Mike Kraiger handed this out to us at the Kubert School along with some photocopies of some Alex Toth prints... awesome reference stuff...

Glad that I could help. I came across a reference to it when reading a Chuck Dixon article in Sketch and decided to search it out, glad I did.

Yep. They did indeed hand out photocopies of this at the JOE KUBERT SCHOOL. It's good stuff. Wood was a genius!

For all you kiddies playing at home, the word "ben day" which appears on the sheet , is what the ol' timers used to call the half-tone screen patterns in the 50s,60s, and early 70s. Most recently, these screen pattern/stickers have come to be known as "Zip-a-tone" or simply "zip." Zip-a-tone was actually a brand name (the brand no longer exists) that became synonymous with these dot-pattern, half-tone stickers.
