Unusual Tales - My Secret


"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.



From Charlton's OUT OF THIS WORLD #3 [1957] comes the 6-page story "My Secret".  It's been reprinted a few times since, but never in colour.

A pretty decent tale about blackmail with a twist, Ditko does a few interesting things to keep the visuals interesting.  The big sound effects bit where the deadline counts down is perhaps a bit overdone, but still a a decent concept.

This story appears in the Snyder/Ditko publication OUT OF THIS WORLD #17 [2015], so I'm only showing the first page below.
