| Beautiful Ditko art on a poignant story. Sturdy Steve certainly delivered some excellent art jobs for Charlton during this period. |
|
| AND no obnoxious Leroy lettering! (I wonder what the deal was--did Ditko letter it himself? Did he put his foot down?) |
|
| Great scan and you can't go wrong with Ditko art. |
