Book Reviews of Marvel Visionaries: Steve Ditko
Book Review: Hauntingly Weird and Wonderful...
Summary: 3 Stars
At his best, Steve Ditko's artwork was initially deceivingly pedestrian...only to later take the reader through twists and turns into wonderfully strange and haunting worlds. While the likes of Jack Kirby made everything grandiose and larger than life, much of Ditko's charm was his knack for being able to take the most mundane situations and render them with an artist's eye than seldom failed to captivate the reader. This collection assembles some of the best examples of Ditko's brilliantly bizzare worlds, jettisoned, no doubt, by some incredible scripts as penned by Stan Lee. The only drawback to this collection is found towards the end of this collection. Here we see the magic all but gone in stories such as "The Coming of the Squirrel Girl"...a dismal work that could not be salvaged by an artist at his very peak (let alone one who is headed towards a downward spiral). Still, the middle section of this book...with wonderful stories from SPIDERMAN and DOCTOR STRANGE...make this a beautiful collection and a fitting tribute to one of comic-book's true masters!!!
