New Ditko - The Avenging Mind

Robin Snyder apparently has a new 36-page Ditko publication out, THE AVENGING MIND. Not too much is known about it. Some details including an ordering address are available here. Comments are more than welcome if you get a copy.

Splash - The Frog-Man

Sometimes these are just plain weird...

Splash - It Was Only A Simple Barber Shop... Or Was It?

Splash - Great Zeus

I love the framing pure black clouds on this one. It's impossible to choose a favourite Ditko splash from these shorts, but this is a contender.

Splash - Quogg

First in a series of Ditko splash pages I'll be posting until I get back in the swing of regular posts here.

Ditko in 2007 wrapup

Hey all. I know posting on here had come to an unscheduled halt. No promises, but that might change soon. Anyway, thought I'd drop by for a quick note on recent Ditko publications. 2007 was a good year for Ditko reprints, with three major books featuring all of his Spider-man stories, dozens of short fantasy stories (some never reprinted before) and the remainder of his Charlton stories acquired by DC (Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, the Question). Plus a few more minor things. Oh, and a BBC documentary that got some good reviews. I should watch that some day...

2008 should see some major stuff, such as a volume which will include all of his 1960s work on the Hulk, and another with his few Iron Man stories (both to go with movies of the characters. Can we get someone to do a Speedball movie? Shade, maybe? Starman, even? Doctor Mayavale?).
