Departing Ditko Days

We've got just enough room left in the week for one more visit with Steve Ditko. Let's start where we left off, with some stories from the mid-50s...






This is The Voice Of ODD!, so let us take a hard turn into Odd territory for some completely different Ditko -


He even brought us the cover to that issue...


...and it was hardly his only trip into weird comedy...


This one was rarely seen, originally slated for Plop! and published in the Amazing World Of DC Comics, we get Steve Ditko working with Steve Skeates and Wally Wood -


And now we seem to have looped back around to where we started...



...so i guess it's time to move along...

Son Of Sunday Morning Funnies (King Kirby 091)


Sunday Morning Funnies. You know how this works by now, right? Them toony thangs.

So let's get right to it with an Odd Jack Kirby drawn strip from Cracked magazine:


Okay. That was silly. But not as silly as this-


For today's main feature, we turn once again to Not Brand Echh. Back in the days when Johnny Storm was dating Crystal of the Inhumans, time came when...


Gee.... think Johnny Storm will show up on the Inhumans tv show? Yeah, sure.

Moving right along... 
To wrap things up this morning, here's a 2-pager intended for the never published 2nd issue of In The Days Of The Mob. It looks like Jack was joining (replacing?) Sergio Aragones in the comedy department for that next issue...


Now go enjoy your day with a smile.

Meanwhile, 43 Years Ago... Friday Fun&Games #002

It's time once again for


We've visited FOOM a few times already. Let's stop over on the other side of the street at the Amazing World Of DC Comics. From the first issue, a puzzle from the Answer Man himself, Bob Rozakis:


Remember, it's 55 titles, not 52! And the years is 1974, so boot up the way-back processors and start hunting.
