Wally Wood’s 22 Panels that Always Work

Wally Wood was a first-class illustrator in the day, having worked with Marvel Comics as well as more subversive material with Mad Magazine and outright pornographic satirical comics. This document here is his fabled “cheat sheet” of sorts that has been passed around among comics illustrators for years.

The GCD is an amazing research tool, cataloging thousands of comic book issues.

Although it’s becoming rarer and rarer these days, comic books used to come out as single periodicals every month or so. The GCD lets you search through all those mountains of pamphlets to find information like the artists responsible, the original date of publication, what the cover looked like, and sometimes a little description of what actually happened in the issue.

Here is a list of local art supply stores where you can get pretty much anything on your materials list. Prizm is maybe the most recommended, having one of the larger selections and cheaper prices.
