The Mystery by Wally Wood
The Invitation Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2: 6-8) The Mystery is the gateway to understanding the Grace of God as taught in the New Testament. From the beginning of time, God had a secret.a mystery which for ages has been hidden in God (Ephesians 3:9). Jesus, while dying on the cross, said, It is finished. He said this knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled (John 19:28-30). Now, at that very moment, something was made complete that was incomplete before. Now, something was finished that was unfinished before. It has now been revealed to His holy apostles and New Testament] prophets in the Spirit this] mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men (Ephesians 3:3-6). Today's contemporary church has lost touch with the knowledge of this mystery and, as such, has abused Grace and short-changed Faith. Possessing this full knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 1:3) will cause you to never stumble (v.11) as you become a mature man to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). God had something better for us (Hebrews 11:40). Come and see what it was and is
Wallace Wood was born on June 17, 1927 in Menahga, Minnesota. Primarily a self-taught artist, Wood briefly attended both the Minneapolis School of Art and Burne Hogath's Cartoonists and Illustrators School in New York City (later to become the School of Visual Arts). He entered the comic book field in 1949, freelancing for various publishers including Avon and Ziff-Davis, among others. He is perhaps best known for his work with E.C. in general and their science fiction line in particular. His solid composition and lush inking were perfectly presented in titles like WEIRD SCIENCE and WEIRD FANTASY, which required a constant parade of spaceships, monsters, and luscious women in skintight space suits. Wood also worked on E.C.'s horror and war titles, such as THE VAULT OF HORROR and TWO-FISTED TALES, and at the same time was a regular contributor to MAD. Like Will Elder, Wood was a master of MAD's cluttered sight gags and joke techniques. He continued to contribute to MAD for 12 years, even after its transformation to a black-and-white magazine. In the 1960s and '70s Wood also worked for Marvel and DC, providing pencils and inks for various characters, and broke new ground with his alternative proto-zine Witzend. Suffering from various health problems in his later years, he took his own life on November 3, 1981 in Los Angeles.
