| Great stories and art as always! Thank you for posting the issue. |
|
| The stories in themselves are not that great, but Steve Ditko's page layouts have a really interesting blend of an Eisner influence together with his own unique sensibility. Well worth studying for the comic book aficionado. Thanks for uploading these nice gems! |
|
| Three of the stories are drawn by Ditko. What's interesting is how prominently the Mysterious Traveler is featured in the stories. He's only narrating the stories, not really a part of the stories, but he's featured in the backdrop of so many panels. The non-Ditko stories are also pretty good, but MT is just introducing the stories, as is much more typical of horror comic hosts. |
