DescriptionDid you ever read The Hawk and the Dove? I was a fan almost from the beginning. Created by Steve Skeates and Steve Ditko (yes, that Steve Ditko), it mirrored the times by having two brothers; one a pacifist and the other a hot head gain powers to combat evil. First appearing in Showcase 75, they were given their own book shortly thereafter. When I saw this piece, I found myself drawn to it for a few reasons. First, it screams the 60’s and I love the 60’s in OA. I mean the bad guys are “the dropouts”! Second, it’s from issue 1, which was plotted and drawn by Ditko. Third, did I mention it’s drawn by Ditko?!! There are a lot of Ditko like elements in there, and the layout is almost reminiscent of his work on Doctor Strange. Finally, it’s a double page spread, and I honestly don’t know how many of those Ditko actually did. As a result, it’s huge. In any event, I couldn’t take my eyes off of it, and it moved quickly from a “what’s that?” to “I have to have that!!”

Wow, there's so much Ditko energy bursting from this DPS it's insane!

Great art that captures so much of the angst of the series & that decade

I really liked Ditko's DC work - Creeper, Hawk and Dove, and Stalker. I wish they'd run longer with him in charge. This DPS is a great example of Steve's work. Congratulations.

Very pleased that you bought this -- it is a great example of Steve's energetic style and even better as you love H & D.

How great was it that DC let Ditko create offbeat characters like Hawk & Dove and the Creeper ?!? And later on, Shade the Changing Man. Anyway, it's a great DPS. DC didn't have that many and this one is awesome!! And it's by Ditko!

This is spectacular--love the three pages over two layout, and classic Ditko touches all over it. Well done!
