Yow, Ditko!

A cool Steve Ditko piece, from the cool Fantagraphics book: Strange and Stranger—The World of Steve Ditko. This artwork originally for  the cover for All Stars #1, 1965. Some people say Ditko lost the early Kubert influence in the early 1960s, but somehow I always still see it in most of his work. Here especially in the woman, but also here and there. Not a bad thing by any means.

    Actually this widely reprinted piece was where I FIRST noticed a Kubert influence. Now I see it popping up throughout his career.

    I agree.

    I first consciously recognized the relationship after looking at some of Kubert's early work.
