--Link-- DITKOMANIA Kickstarter

Oops, almost missed this. DITKOMANIA editor Rob Imes has a Kickstarter project ending in a few days for DITKOMANIA #90, an extra-long issue with a lot on Ron Frantz and his 1980s publishing outfit ACE Comics, which had some Ditko work both published (What Is... The Face and Return Of The Skyman) and planned but unpublished (Ooky & Zooky with Jerry Siegel, Crypt Of The Claw with Mort Todd).

The project has already made its funding goal, and you have a choice of print or digital (PDF) or both, plus some available extras.
