Departing Ditko Days

We've got just enough room left in the week for one more visit with Steve Ditko. Let's start where we left off, with some stories from the mid-50s...






This is The Voice Of ODD!, so let us take a hard turn into Odd territory for some completely different Ditko -


He even brought us the cover to that issue...


...and it was hardly his only trip into weird comedy...


This one was rarely seen, originally slated for Plop! and published in the Amazing World Of DC Comics, we get Steve Ditko working with Steve Skeates and Wally Wood -


And now we seem to have looped back around to where we started...



...so i guess it's time to move along...

Over Chronicles Of Wasted Time ... New Shadows Hurtle

The first person we looked at from the Rocket's Blast Comic Collector was John Adkins Richardson. At that time, i rather thought we'd be getting to his Maxor Of Cirod comic - "a combination of science fiction, the macabre, and satire" - in the days following. 

Sixteen months later my peripatetic mind finally wanders back around. Let's jump straight into the story before it wanders off again...
