Thanks.<BR/><BR/>I never thought about it before, but it does seem that the western setting would be a good one for objectivist-tinged stories. But, in addition to the affinity issue, Ditko may have realized that superheros (or something very like them) would be more successful in selling the concept to a broader audience.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154203761080654758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-22690281817436904832007-04-23T12:42:00.000-04:002007-04-23T12:42:00.000-04:00The Cheyenne Kid cover is great.

As you noted, Ditko only did a handful of westerns throughout his career, leading me to believe that he did not particularly care for the genre, even though he could do nice work on it. <BR/><BR/>I suspect if he had requested them he would have been given more western scripts to illustrate, particularly at Charlton. His work on war, western and romance stories was sporadic, so it appears he liked doing the ghost stories more than other genres.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for putting these great covers out there to discuss and enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Nick CaputoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
