Ditko week continues with writer Paul Gravett serving up a nice overview of Stainless Steve’s early career as well as a look at both of the recent collections of rare Ditko work, Craig’s ART OF DITKO as well as Blake Bell’s similarly welcome STRANGE AND STRANGER.

Andrei Molotiu, author of Fantagraphics’ book ABSRACT COMICS, writes a fascinating essay on Mr Ditko and his relationship to his art. Be sure to read the dozens of comments that follow as they continue the intelligent discussion.
