SOLAR, MAN OF THE ATOM #15 [1992] is the third and final issue of the Valiant series that Ditko drew back in 1992, with the 21-page story "The Power Trip". Ditko is credited with the co-plot and pencils, while Bob Wiacek is credited as "finisher and inker".
It's a pretty basic story. At the end of the previous issue Solar has accidentally given a portion of his powers to a man named Bender, who goes a bit crazy with the powers, so Solar has to deal with that in addition to various personal issues like his employer shutting down and disagreements with his girlfriend.
Not a huge amount to recommend this if you're not into the history of Solar. I thought the inking by Wiacek had a few interesting bits, for the most part the Ditko style of the era comes through, but sometimes it's overwhelmed, presumably those bits where Waicek was more of a "finisher".
