This is the book that finally soured me on Ditko. He lays the philosophy on with a trowel. Instead of having his characters demonstrate their world views with action, they spend panel after panel lecturing about their beliefs. Those who share Ditko's opinions might find it easier to take, but whichever side you're on you must admit this is preach preach preach.

Very fun read due to Ditkos artwork . Great cover art as well.Thanks for the scan !

Wow, what happened? Issue 4 was a lot of fun, good silver age heroics. And now this is heavy-handed art criticism.
   By
Yup, sadly must have been around the time that Ditko started to espouse Ayn Rand's philosophy.

Quintessential Ditko, both in art and story. Great book to preserve. Thanks!

NotesThere 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." Lettering is credited to "A. Machine"
