NoMan Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) Sometimes when I walk around the city and someone on the street asks me for spare change and I see they've been writing or drawing in a notebook, I say, "I'll give you some change for a piece of art you're writing or drawing." The Ditko stuff in Mr. A #24 looks like some of the stuff I've gotten. Edited August 22, 2017 by NoMan Tony S 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I will say the art is pretty good in his 2017 Mr. A. story "Mr. A. and the Knifer." I mean the guy is 89. Link to post Share on other sites

NoMan Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm giving up a newer Ditko work. (Post 1975) I'm officially throwing in the towel. I've tried. kav 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He does go on a bit with the one-note philosophy. I suspect that some of the villains would find it less traumatising to let go of a flagpole or jump 50 stories off a building and let gravity do its worst, rather than continue suffering from the excruciatingly painful headache caused by one of his endless monologues.

kav Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Reading Ditko or Kirby solo stuff puts the nail in the coffin of the theory that they were actually the ones writing the Marvel books in the silver age. Link to post Share on other sites

kav Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ditko definitely doesn't abuse his emotions. If he abused them for one person he'd have to do that for everyone. Link to post Share on other sites
gz1502 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I have to disagree with the comments here. The work that Steve and Robin are putting out is interesting and engaging, otherwise I wouldn't buy it. I enjoy the stories, and will continue to support. Link to post Share on other sites
