Dick Wood wrote mainly (although not exclusively) for Gold Key in the Sixties. Having found his work on longer-running series like
Star Trek, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,and
Man from UNCLE,as well as the mystery books like
Boris Karloff and
Twilight Zone, as I go farther afield among the companie's titles I find a few more of his scripts.
Wood's extravagant expressions give him away; I'll lay a bet that "Great galloping Selenites" never figured in the shooting script of
First Men in the Moon. There's the same sort of expression in the
Lancer tier shown here.
Movie Comicis a title of convenience that never appears in the indicia and in fact on
First Men doesn't even appear on the cover. That's an adaptation of the Ray Harryhausen movie of the H.G. Wells novel;
