The Contaminated Space Man by Steve Ditko





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"
