The first critical retrospective of the work of the reclusive Spider-Man co-creator! Steve Ditko is best known as the co-creator, with Stan Lee, of Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and other classic Marvel and DC characters. But, in the context of Steve Ditko's 50-year career in comics, his creative involvement with Spider-Man is merely the tip of the iceberg. Strange & Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko is a coffee table art book tracing Ditko's life and career, his unparalleled stylistic innovations, and his strict adherence to his philosophical principles, with lush displays of obscure and popular art from the thousands of pages of comics he's drawn over the last 55 years.
BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON  I love Steve Ditkos work, and thought I knew a lot about Ditko, until I read this book that is. Beautifully put together, Blake Bell does an outstanding job of sequentially taking you through Ditkos entire career. It's not a 'pin-up' book of Ditko's best efforts, but a gorgeous hardcover showing Ditkos style change over the years filled in with more background than I thought anyone would ever find out on Sturdy Steve. If you're the least bit interested in DITKO, then you need to own this book boyo! I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams The first critical retrospective of the work of the reclusive Spider-Man co-creator!
