Wallace Wood: Against the Grain, part 21
Joe and Gloria Orlando married on September 15, 1951, shortly after the publication of “A Mistake in Multiplication” (Weird Fantasy 9), his solo premiere at EC. The story marked the end of the Wood/Orlando team. “The publishers liked the look of our work, and that was due, a great deal, to Wally’s inks. I wasn’t able to ink at all, and that got me worried. In those days the artist did everything but letter, and sometimes even that. On Wally’s suggestion I went up to EC, and I was afraid they wouldn’t like my inks. When I turned in my first job, Gaines and Feldstein said, ‘Great! Another Wally Wood!’ I guess they liked him. A talented guy. I owe a lot to him.”
