The Horror of Party Beach
Nothing actually noticeably from Woody here but this is an ad for the fumetti-style mag that he and Russ Jones put together for Warren telling the story of this ultra-low-budget monster flick.

Miller/Wood
An interesting variation on the cover Wood inked for an early Frank Miller DD cover. It would turn out to be Woody's last work for Marvel. This is from the back cover of an issue of the UK Marvel mag, THE DAREDEVILS.

The Complete Galaxy Illustrations
Wally Wood's career in comics is legendary among the annals of comic's
history. He rocketed to fame working on Will Eisner's The Spirit
newspaper strip and became one of the most talented artists working for
EC Comics during the 1950s. Wood also became a star of EC's satire
comic, Mad, which went on to even greater success as a magazine,
allowing the artist to apply his amazing talents in a broader spectrum.
When the comic's industry fell on lean times during the mid 1950s, Wood
segued into the field of science fiction pulp illustration, providing
over 200 beautiful drawings and several color cover paintings for the
digest magazines, particularly Galaxy. Wood left behind a legacy of
great art, much of which has never been reprinted. This book will
feature them all. Long time Wally Wood historian Roger Hill has spent
the past twenty years pulling together the history of Wood's involvement
with the pulp digests and tracking down original art for this project.
Over half of the images have been pulled from the originals or from
Wood's personal file copies, allowing Wood fans the finest possible
reproduction!

Bucky's Christmas Caper
Surprisingly, I haven't seen Bucky Ruckus posted anew yet this year. Not to worry, though. The 'Net being what it is, one can still find it in numerous places from previous years including from 2009 at my pal Terry Beatty's blog, scanned from the extra-large size MEDIASCENE reprint! Go! Enjoy some of Woody's best stuff!
