To get some flames going: Ditko? WHO CARES?!? Sure, Ditko used to be great. So did Kirby. But neither one is, anymore. Ditko is doing fill-in work at Marvel, Pacific, First, and probably several other places I've never even heard of. All in all, however, I think that he sells mainly on the strength of his name, not his artwork. To put it bluntly, Ditko sucks rubber Donkey Kong Lungs! It is hard to describe what, exactly, is wrong with Ditko's modern work, but it is crude, sparse, rarely has background worth mentioning, and all in all is rather painful to look at for any length of time. On a more cheerful note: Who IS the greatest artist in comics today? If you send your answers to me ( The Demolished Hacker, c/o duke!unc!kh), I will digest them and post them to the net. _ _ /.| |.\ The Demolished Hacker -| | | |- Kevin Maroney \_| |_/ duke!unc!kh

I disagree with you on the fact the Ditko USED to be great. His artwork hasn't changed, while styles around him have. If you like him under Spider-man (which is how it was spelled when Ditko drew it) then you should like him now. By the way, I don't like his style, but i didn't like it then either. OZ
