| Classic Ditko work, on both the Blue Beetle and Question stories. It's a shame there isn't a better quality scan of the comic, though. If you have an account with Comic Book Plus, you can download this comic and use a graphic viewer or picture editor like IrfanView to adjust the picture and make it look better. |

There are conflicting accounts on the D.C.(Dave) Glanzman credit. Editor-in-chief Dick Giordano has said they asked Glanzman to use his name (as per Ditko's request to not be credited) and Dick said Glanzman agreed (Comic Book Artist #9).
Ditko, in Robin Snyder's The Legend of the Blue Beetle (the Hero comics # 29, Autumn, 2019) wrote, "The Blue Beetle (my version) and the Question were my stories but there was "editing" and revising to some degree by someone. Giordano added the Glanzman name to my stories. I do not know why, when and where." |
