So many fans only think of Dr. Strange and Spider-Man when they think of Ditko, but he had a prolific career illustrating horror and science fiction comics in the 1950's. This is a great book, with crisp b&w linework and good production values. These stories show Ditko already in polished form even before his early 60's monster books and super hero work, which finally earned him his renown. This is simply an excellent book.

These stories date back to a time before Ditko drew Spider-Man.
While some are dated there is nothing like his retro style that has inspired many generations of artists. I only wish this volume was in color! That might have sold more copies. It's no wonder that someone at Vanguard Publishing doesn't release more of his Charlton work on CD ROM. I hope CD's becoming the ideal medium to give you more for your dollar; that we see much more of these on CD instead.......
