I think some of the single-issue stories a bit later in the run are really solid, and don't really need more than a basic background of the character (which is usually provided in each issue, as was the style at the time).bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-28299845889588647812009-05-13T22:45:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:45:00.000-04:00I have to admit that I sold off all my Ditko-drawn...I have to admit that I sold off all my Ditko-drawn ROMs on eBay around 2 years ago. I only bought one issue of Ditko's ROM back when it was new (at the same time that I was buying up and loving most of Ditko's other stuff). In the 1990s, in a futile attempt to have a complete collection of Ditko's work, I bought up all his ROM issues in the cheap boxes. Nearly 10 years later, I accepted the fact that I had no desire to actually read them, and sold 'em off. Still, they might be a cheap way to obtain Ditko work today (if they can still be found in the cheap boxes) and it is occasionally interesting to see what the ROM superstar inkers do to Ditko's pencils.Rob Imeshttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/ditkomanianoreply@blogger.com
