This collection from Vanguard Productions features the same vintage sci-fi yarns found in the Fantagraphic volumes. Published in 2005 this magazine-sized collection was a robust black and white resource for these earliest Ditko yarns. The reproduction is basic. Among the stories here are "Mystery Planet", "The Deadly Cargo of Spaceship 19", "The Decision", "The Gloomy One", "The Juggernauts of Jupiter", "The Secret of Captain X", and "Journey's End". Also included are later stories from the 60's such as "The Blue Men of Bantro" and "Way Out Man". There are many other yarns as well. I like the vibrant recoloring of the classic cover seen below. There is also a brief essay by David J. Spurlock about the career of Ditko titled "Ditko's Brave New World".
