Description

Legendary artist Steve Ditko delivers a great page in this mid-70s �EC-style� story of murder and comeuppance. (And puzzled fish. Don�t forget the puzzled fish.)

Ditko�s work during this period at Charlton tends to be a bit all over the map in terms of draftsmanship and level detail, but this story is a fine example of his more polished work from the era.

(For the record, even lesser Ditko stories are still better than 80-90 percent of the rest of industry�s output in that timeframe, especially at secondary companies.)

From a rights and commercial standpoint, it�s likely that this Ditko material will never officially be collected into trades. Some of it can be found on the Internet, and fortunately, the Charlton horror comics themselves are typically very inexpensive in lesser condition.

Now that is a dark Ditko page. I wonder if they had to bring her arm up to cover the rope around her neck to pass the comic code? Heh, I'm guessing maybe so. Agreed that the quality of his Charlton work could be all over the place, but you got a really nice, clean page from a master here. Big congrats!
