I collect mostly reading grade copies of 70's comics, but I always enjoy running across the occasional Ditko jem in the horror comics. Of course there are the Spidy reprints of his run there which came out in the 70's too.Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908194845281410895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-34849092986587369362008-11-17T22:07:00.000-05:002008-11-17T22:07:00.000-05:00The WORLD'S FINEST backups were all by Ditko, so i...The WORLD'S FINEST backups were all by Ditko, so included in the 254 page count (along with FIRST ISSUES SPECIAL #7 and the unpublished SHOWCASE #106). Though I'm not sure if the SHOWCASE PRESENTS line still has a cut-off line that would keep the 1978/1979 stories out (I don't think so, I saw a BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS volume which would be after that).<BR/><BR/>I forgot the JOKER story. That was in #3, pretty decent. And just checking now, a few guest bits with Batman in DETECTIVE and a SUPER-TEAM FAMILY story with Wildcat that they might choose to include. So while I'm still hoping that they make including every page of Ditko the first priority, guess we'll have to wait and see.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, this is stuff I'd like to see in colour someday, so if they held back some Ditko stuff to make a later complete Ditko Creeper colour hardcover more attractive, I wouldn't complain.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-51483013720769802512008-11-17T21:35:00.000-05:002008-11-17T21:35:00.000-05:00wasn't there an issue of the mid-70's Joker series...wasn't there an issue of the mid-70's Joker series that guest-starred the Creeper? I remember really liking that series at the time - I actually bought more issues of the Joker book than I did the regular Batman books. There were also some backup strips in one or more of the Dollar Comics (World's Finest maybe?).jim kosmickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085710372093169851noreply@blogger.com
