While we're discussing specific artists... how do people feel about Steve Ditko? I'm generally indifferent towards most artists, but something about Ditko's style annoys me. I'm not sure what, exactly, but *something*. Nevertheless, many people seem to hold him in some reverence, possibly because he was one of Marvel's earliest artists. How do net readers feel about Ditko? --Bernie Roehl ...decvax!watmath!watarts!bernie

We had a discussion of Steve Ditko earlier, but that has NEVER stopped me from talking about him again. When Ditko first drew Spider-Man, it was great. Why? Well, all heros were either larger then life, or glossy. Ditko had an under- stated way about him that was refresing. He also has a style that works well with "mysterious" characters. I thought his work with THE CREEPER was quite good. I don't like Ditko as a regular artist, and his writting style is strange to say the least. Have you caught his "Missing Man" series? The word bizarre comes best in describing it. What do you all think of Freff? I FINALLY GOT MY CEREBUS #3!!!!!!!!! OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
