Dark Horse has some reprints of Marvel's INDIANA JONES comics of the 1980s. They don't specify exactly which issues (anyone have the first volume know where it left off?) so I'm not sure which Ditko issues are included, but presumably at least the first one, #21. He did eight in all, so the bulk of them would probably appear in a hypothetical volume 3. And oddly, it looks like their Warren reprints are going to include reprints, so CREEPY ARCHIVES VOLUME 5, will include a few stories that will already be in the EERIE ARCHIVES
And the softcover MARVEL MASTERWORKS get up to the first slim HULK volume, Ditko inks on one issue, full art on another.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE INCREDIBLE HULK VOL. 1 TPB
Written by STAN LEE
Penciled by JACK KIRBY & STEVE DITKO
Cover by JACK KIRBY & DEAN WHITE
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner may have the appearance of a mild-mannered scientist, but after being caught in a gamma bomb explosion, he became the unstoppable engine of destruction known as the Incredible Hulk! Hot off the success of the FANTASTIC FOUR, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's atomic update on the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde tale, mixed the joy of giant monsters with Cold War intrigue and added a heavy dose of psychological drama to create a formula that even decades later has readers clamoring for more. So for each and every purple pants loving Hulkophile, the MARVEL MASTERWORKS are proud to present the Hulk's original six-issue solo series in one amazingly restored volume. You'll meet Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross of the U.S. Army and the lovely Betty Ross for the first time. You'll see the Hulk's first appearance as the gray goliath before he turned that familiar shade of green. You'll watch the Hulk bust knuckles with the far-out Toad Men, the subterranean Tryannus, monstrous Mongu, and the Metal Master, and to make it that much better, the incomparable Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko illustrate it all.

"If Looks Could Kill" is a 6-page horror story from Charlton's THE THING #15 [1954]. A very strange little story about a doctor who gets kidnapped by a hypnotist who seems to have some enormous powers in his eyes, but can't think of anything better to do with them than penny-ante kidnap schemes. Then it gets really bizarre, with a lot of twists in the handful of pages. A pretty cool little story, and Ditko does a great job of picking out some key bits to give his special touch. Check out that close-up on page 3, for example.
"Dead Reckoning" is a 7-page Ditko story that appeared in Charlton's SPACE ADVENTURES #11 [1954]. Amusing little story taking common themes in crime fiction of the time and pretty much just translating them wholesale to a science fiction setting (with the conceit that one of the characters is a fan of 20th century detective stories). A lot of fun, as contrived as parts of it are.
Oh, this is a sweet bit of early Ditko from Charlton's STRANGE SUSPENSE STORIES #18 [1954]. The 6-page "Dead Right" features a reporter and photographer visiting the London home of a man named Mr. Mord, who creates grotesque wax heads of notorious killers. One head in particular horrifies the reporter, who has his photographer secretly snap a picture of it, which leads him to discover Mord's secret.
The 5-page "Inheritance" was the cover featured story in Charlton's
