==Reception== [[File:Invadersbass.jpg|right|thumb|350px|The [[Wally Wood]] influence is evident in this [[Richard Bassford]] illustration from ''witzend'' #3 (1967).]] A critical survey of the magazine, "Wood at His witzend" by Rick Spanier, appears in Bhob Stewart's biographical anthology, ''Against the Grain: Mad Artist Wallace Wood'' (TwoMorrows, 2003). Designer-typographer Spanier once edited a similar graphic story publication, ''Picture Story Magazine'', requested by the [[Museum of Modern Art]] for its collection. After analyzing all 13 issues of ''witzend'' and fitting it into the context of alternative publishing of the period, Spanier concluded that ''witzend'''s "salient point, that comic artists were entitled to more control and ownership of their own work, would eventually be recognized by the publishers of comic books, but it is hard to argue that ''witzend'' itself was a key factor in that development. Like so many other visionary endeavors, it may simply have been ahead of its time".<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=D3Up5Fqyc6MC&dq=SPANIER+%22against+the+grain%22&pg=PA187 Spanier, Rick.
