"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
"Oggo The Thinker" is a 5-page story from Charlton's MYSTERIES OF UNEXPLORED WORLDS #11 [1959], drawn by J. Kodti, whose work looks remarkably similar to Steve Ditko's work of the era, so I've decided to include it in this series. It's an amusing trifle about a sensitive young caveman who who dreams of more than the hunting that consumes the life of the men of his era. A couple of really good panels, Kodti especially does good with the despair Oggo feels in a few panels, as well as the look of pleasure as he contemplates what would be his final invention.
