Favorite Comic Book Covers!
Hulk #6! Drawn by the amazing Steve Ditko, who was more famous for his work on the Amazing Spiderman. I didn't want to start off with too many Spidey's or Kirby's, and wanted to get all my favorites in before repeating artists or characters. There will be Ditko Spidey's in the future. Comic fans here probably know that Ditko left his co-creation Spidey over the Green Goblin. Ditko and Stan the Man Lee had an argument over whether the Goblin should be revealed to be Norman Osborne, or whether he should be just some unknown guy. I don't know if Steve quit and then Stan "won" or Stan won so Steve quit. But either way, it resulted in tragedy. Ditko went on to do work for DC and then in the `70's he worked - with Stan Lee's brother Larry Leiber at the short lived Atlas Comics, where he handled a Spidey like character called the Destructor. Here he be...
Steve went back to Marvel later, but I was off comics by then. In any event, we'll be seeing more of Steve's Spidey's, Hulks and Dr. Strange's as we progress here. He rocked.
