The World of Steve Ditko by Blake Bell is an insightful biography of the artist and I'll be using it to guide me during the course of this year as I examine the work of Ditko at Charlton, Marvel, DC, Atlas-Seaboard, Tower, Dell, Eclipse, Defiant, and so many more companies for which he worked. I hope to keep this year-long overview mostly chronological, but I won't become limited by that when it comes to examining themes in his work.
Here are some of the collections I have in my library featuring the work of Ditko, and I hope to consult all of them at some point this year, in addition to some I haven't yet thought of.
Look for these reviews of Ditko's work on Sundays throughout the year.

I had no idea there were so many Ditko books, I only have the excellent Marvel Dr Strange Omnibus and the Creativity of Steve Ditko book ( noted above) and a few smaller collections including a Static black and white book ( slightly larger than A3 sized ) Love those covers
ReplyDeleteI have more, especially of Spider-Man and Doc Strange, both of which I've collected several times. I hope to feature some of those vintage collections as the year tumbles along. I only recently gathered up the more recent material and the 70's Charlton collections. Great stuff!
