As we are still recovering from the news of Steve Ditko's passing, why don't we remember his legacy by enjoying the covers and splashes featuring one of his most memorable and enduring creations,
The Creeper. Ol' Groove thinks
Jack Ryder's eccentric super-heroic other self might've been one of Ditko's favorite characters, since, in a rare move, Mr. Ditko returned to
The Creeper not once, but twice (1975 in 1st Issue Special and 1977 in World's Finest Comics). And since the covers and splashes Ditko provided for
The Creeper were so gorgeous, Ol' Groove couldn't bear to split them up, so here they are in all their glory (including the
Creeper cover and splash intended for a 1978 issue of
Showcase, courtesy
Cancelled Comics Cavalcade #2).
