When most fans think of the Creeper, they think of Steve Ditko, and rightly they should. After all, Sturdy Steve did create Jack Ryder's weirdo alter-ego. Thing is, it seems that the Creeper spent more time in print as a guest-star in other superheros' mags (usually with Batman in 'Tec or B&B) than he did in his own strips. Nearly all of the Creeper's solo tales were illustrated by the reclusive Mr. Ditko, so when DC collected those stories into one hand-dandy trade paperback, they naturally included all of the Ditko tales, leaving the following three-parter, wonderfully written by Martin Pasko and illustrated by Ric Estrada and Joe Staton in limbo. Well, like our anonymous request-maker, Ol' Groove thinks that's jive, so here's a look at a piece of Creeper history that deserves to be remembered. It's wild! It's weird! It's FUN!
