Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In celebration of its 65th anniversary, the House of Ideas proudly presents a timeless testament to another true Marvel visionary!

Best known as the first artist to bring Spider-Man to life in the pages of Amazing Fantasy, Steve Ditko illustrated Amazing Spider-Man for four years — helping create characters such as Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, the Vulture, and dozens more of Spider-Man's classic villains. In contrast to the grounded realism of Spider-Man, Ditko also drew the adventures of Doctor Strange, a master of the mystic arts who defended Earth's citizens from bizarre otherworldly threats.

Now, this deluxe keepsake edition collects his greatest moments. Stories from Tales To Astonish #26, 42; Strange Tales #94, 97, 110, 115, 126-127; 146; Amazing Adult Fantasy #7, 10, 12-13; Amazing Spider-Man #1, 31-33, Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1; Hulk #6, 249; Tales Of Suspense #48; Daredevil #162; Speedball #1.

Review:

"For the Ditko fan or for anyone interested in the most interesting artistic corner of the Marvel Universe's early years, Marvel Visionaries: Steve Ditko is essential reading. (Grade: 4/5)" Comic Book Galaxy

Review:

"[Ditko is] a master of composition, body language and storytelling flow, and his best ideas have become part of the visual language of comics....Most of what's in Ditko's Marvel Visionaries volume are stories that have been reprinted to death already, fine as some of them are. But it also includes some remarkable, long-unseen material: 10 short horror, suspense and science fiction stories he collaborated on with [Stan] Lee....The blunt alienation of these early pieces is still shocking now, and the way Ditko draws the characters' hands alone tells the stories almost as much as Lee's words." Douglas Wolk, Salon.com
