Strange and group look so B.A. in that bottom shot. So powerful. 

I think that is Man-Thing, right? As much as I want a crossover and see Swamp Thing in the MU alongside Man-Thing, Swampy is in DC. 

OOPS!

Actually that is Kirby's take on Dracula (JO 142 and 143 (The Man from Transilvane! and The Genocide Spray!) this two part story took Kirby imagination to a new level, a planet where everyone is a 1940s movie monster.)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to photograph and post this exhibit. This is definitely the most Ditko art (and some of the best) I have seen at one time. Getting to the exhibit in person was going to be impossible but you allowed me not to miss the impact of this master's work.

John, I don't know Mr. Bell, but are you selling this "questionable" Ditko signed piece? What would you want to get via Paypal, for shipped pri USA?? Best to you! Lance

Sorry, not for sale. Blake Bell wrote the 2008 biography of Ditko, now cheap used, I recommend it. Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko by Blake Bell

Wow? That's interesting. Did you get the redemption card from a pack, or it was purchased with the signed piece?? Go type in "Ditko letter" on CAF. Looks pretty legit to my untrained eye. Great stuff, friend!

I purchased it from a trading card dealer. I was a big user of USENET and he published an ad where this and some other autographed cards were available. At the time I was looking for everything Ditko and it was affordable. I only found an image of the redemption card much later which I kept around for reference. I only have doubts about authenticity because when I shared it with Blake Bell (the only Ditko expert I knew) he was not very encouraging. So it lives in a drawer and I like to think it is real. It is great to see those letters that Ditko wrote to you. Thanks for writing.

You are a man of great taste. The joy of original art (or stats) is how you can really see the art in a single panel.

Great to see this page, even in stat form it's beautiful. I thought I was the only fan of the Nameless One and Undying Ones on CAF!

I found the original page on 4-29-13. Herb Trimpe was selling it himself. A Trimpe page without Hulk but very beautiful.

That page is fantastic but the story of how you got it is even better! There is nothing like owning something you never thought would be yours. Thought you might like this other literary page "The Library of Dream". It has all the books mentioned in Sandman. http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=767602&GSub=59755

Hans K said: "In case you're wondering this original has been in my collection since 1990 when I purchased it out of a CBG ad. At the time, it was a very messy assemblage of art, stats, and white-out all pasted down to a piece of acidic-looking shirt cardboard for support. To save it from impending deterioration, I sent it to conservator, Susan Cicconi,who performed what amounted to magic. Today, it looks great and stands as one of the earliest known JIM cvrs. in existence. "

I have another page from this issue. This is actually from Doctor Strange #1 ! Somehow when they wrote the issue number on top of the page they wrote "1" in pencil and again in pen but not on top of each other so it looks like issue 11.
