This was the first issue of Blue Beetle I bought (in '68). It was in the spinner rack at a local drugstore for what seemed like months, and when I saw it listed for some outrageous price in Howard Rogofsky's catalog* I figured it must be special (plus I was also a Ditko fan), so the next time I went to that store I got it. I ended up eventually back-filling the other Ditko Blue Beetles before I quit collecting around '73. *little did I know he charged high prices for everything

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"
