At DC Comics, he and Jim Shooter launched the "Captain Action" comic book series in 1968. The following year, Wood briefly served as inker of the "Superboy" series. Discovering from Roy Thomas that Jack Kirby had returned to DC in 1970, Wood called editor Joe Orlando in an attempt to get the assignment to ink Kirby's new work, but that role was already filled by Vince Colletta. That same year, Wood was a ghost artist for an episode of "Prince Valiant". Wood worked on various series for DC between 1975 and 1977, producing several covers for "Plop!" and inking the pencil artwork of Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby on "Stalker" and "The Sandman" respectively. He worked on the "Hercules Unbound" series as well, providing inks for José Luis García-López and Walt Simonson. Wood penciled and inked "All Star Comics" and contributed to the creation of Power Girl by exaggerating the size of her breasts. Active with the 1970s Academy of Comic Book Arts, Wood contributed to several editions of the annual "ACBA Sketchbook". In one of his final assignments, Wood returned to a character he helped define, inking Frank Miller's cover of "Daredevil" #164 (May 1980). His last known mainstream credit was inking "Wonder Woman" #269 (July 1980).
