I backed this as soon as you mentioned in the other day. I wish it were June so I could read it.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of the first edition, published in February 1991. I bought it online some years ago, but I've also backed the Kickstarter. It's great to be able to support the project, and to get mentioned in the contributor's page.
ReplyDeleteThe original comic is a full 110 page story, featuring Ditko's polemic on the comic industry's business malpractices and lunacy. The character's aren't based on actual people, but there's an assortment of comic book personalities like publishers, the media, accountants, collectors, fanboys and even a mad scientist!
Ditko also does a lot of nice visual gags with animated comic pages and talking art supplies. There's some imaginative, humorous cartooning going on here, with lots of classic Ditko designing and inking.
I'm glad this book is going back to print, and like many, I was very surprised to see it appear as a Kickstarter campaign. The Snyder/Ditko publishing brand continues to surprise us, and provide us with some great Ditko comics.
