Space War #29 Cover by Steve Ditko


 I suspect this was originally probably from the early 60s, but the colors on this version really pop


Later that same day, and here's the original cover (thanks, Russ!).  Now I'm dig'n both

  1. Interesting to compare this to the original cover on Space Adventures # 31, which also used the splash panel from the story. I like the newer version better.

    1. Thanks! Just looked it up, and I'm add'n it for contrast. I agree the newer one has more appeal (but I dig the old spaceship)

  2. I well remember picking up that reprint when I was a lad in college. I was heavily into Charlton at the time (still am rather) and they were getting a lot of their vintage Ditko back into the marketplace to my joy.

    1. Just saw it, but I was off to teach on the Navajo Reservation when it came out, so little or no media
