As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
The eyes of the District Execution on page five are truly creeping me out!
ReplyDeleteDitko's art for Charlton's mystery line in the early 1970s is inspired. His linework, detail and facial expressions are excellent. In comparing this work to his Captain Marvel story, from only a few years later, there is a lot missing in terms of detail and solidity. I looked forward to Ditko's return to Marvel in the late 1970's, bot often his art, especially in the inking stage, was weak and uninspired.
