  • Ralph Reese is an American artist who illustrated for books, magazines and comic books from the 1960s to the 1990s. He was recognized for his work in comics with a Shazam Award for Best Inker (Humor Division) in 1973 and 1974. While attending the High School of Art and Design in New York City, Reese began his career in 1966 at age 16, as an assistant to Wally Wood. He worked on a variety of Wood projects from Topps trading cards to the DC Comics series Superboy. Reese's recollection of meeting Wood was quoted in Alter Ego: After a while, I got to keeping his files in order. His file was astounding! He must have had 30 file drawers of clippings, and I kept them in order. I also kept the place in order. When I first met Wally he had been working in the same room for 12 years, so there was a lot of clutter. The first time I saw his studio I couldn't figure out what was hanging from the ceiling. There were all these things with grey felt on them. They turned out to be hundreds of model airplanes on strings, covered with dust. With the Wood Studio as a launching pad, Reese became a prolific freelancer. In 1969-1970, for Robert Sproul's Major Publications, he was a regular contributor to Web of Horror, edited by Terry Bisson. One of his earliest credited stories, scripted by Terry Bisson, was "The Skin-Eaters" in the first issue of Web of Horror, and the team of Bisson and Reese returned in the second issue. He also illustrated two Otto Binder scripts for Web of Horror.
