Covering Early Ditko

Oops.

We forgot a post, even though i mentioned it while we were indulging in Ditko this week. Previously i said we'd get a collection of Ditko covers from Amazing Adult Fantasy and the earlier titles which we were perusing, so here they are - 23 covers from Steve Ditko's rising days in the mid-50s and early-60s...

Okay...   Now we'll move along from Ditko for a while.

Tomorrow i believe we'll visit with Stanley & Edwin!(?) See you then.

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...
