This is my favorite story in the book. One of my favorite comic stories of all time, really. The script is touching, thought provoking. Ditko’s layouts, his point of views, make it compelling. Every use of close ups ans long shots is perfect. It’s not a flashy sci-fi comic or a dark atmospheric horror story. It’s just simply a story about a simple boy in the back yard-and philosophy-and life. I love it.

Here’s the book Ditko fans are raving about! A revealing introduction by Stan Lee. Essays by Jerry Robinson (creator of the Joker and Ditko’s teacher), John Romita (who followed Ditko on Spiderman) and P. Craig Russel (who inked Ditko). And 30 of Ditko’s most innovative stories, rare and unpublished art…and the book concludes with some of Ditko’s own words!
