Beauty. This is my current favorite Ditko (I know in my head, I say that almost weekly). Every panel is a delight, so yeah, just do a great cover based on some panels. Outer space as it should be (dig'n the solid rings for debris belts, and oh, those stars!) When I first saw that bottom panel on the cover, I remember think'n "that place not only looks wunnerful, it feels oddly familiar..." hhhhmmmm Probly a typical army brat, but when people ask "where you from, Cap'n?" I tell em "oh, all over"
Wonderful story and outstanding Ditko.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bring'n the story itself up! That's the other thing about this one. I'm generally all about the art, and mox nix if the stories are good or not, but what a pleasure to meld a great tale with the cream of Ditko's space art
DeleteI agree. Ditko in this period was just marvelous. Kirby had his crackle but SD had his beautiful space gas.
