Description

Features another 200-plus meticulously restored, full-colour pages from Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko in his early prime, at the time working in near anonymity for Charlton Comics in the then-popular horror/suspense genre.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Critics have praised Ditko's idiosyncratic artwork, which "ooze[s] with dread, terror and mistrust". Dana Jennings of The New York Times highlights the best drawings as revealing a "haunted inner life of cobwebs, cracked windows and stairways to nowhere", using chiaroscuro not just as an art technique but as a profound way of life.
