Null, like the Batman, Marvel Team Up and Defenders.


Question: Are there any Ditko comics you haven't collected?

When I get more disposable income want to go after all the Byrne stuff. I have E-man issues with Rog 2000 and some Doomsday Plus 1 but I have a long way to go to get all of his early work.

I just won a run of the Ditko's Charlton Blue Beetle / Question.

As far as super hero stuff. I dont have Ditko's Mr. A, Tales of the Mysterious Traveler (Charlton), Captain Atom [Charlton], Killjoy (Charlton), Hawk & Dove (DC), Thunder Agents, Destructor (Atlas), Static. The Mocker.

And if course the early Spider-Man and Dr. Strange. Too expensive.
Ditko just did so much work. I try to get the super hero stuff that is easy to find.

I updated my posts on the last page. Catching null up from the summer til.now.

I'm kind of surprised at how much more you have to go with your Ditko but you are right about the early Spider man being pricey. I can't touch a single issue let alone his entire run. But the hunt is a large part of the fun of collecting.

The Charlton stuff just isn't as available as DC or Marvel. And Ditko worked for even smaller companies than Chsrlton. And I'm not sure thst anyone out there is singularly focused on collecting Ditko's stuff all in one place. Maybe if DC decides to buy more companies.

One of my favorites from Volume 1. Julie bought me the collected editions.

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/What_If%3F_Vol_1

When I was buying comics in the 70's and 80's as a child my convienence store got mostly DC comics. The Marvels we got included Avengers, Marvel-Two-in-One, Power Man & Iron Fist, Invaders and What If.

Yeah it's a great one. And the fun little follow-up when Strange, Surfer, and Phoenix come back.

The original Korvac saga was quite a surprise. I did not expect all of the heroes to be killed.

Any idea about the other Korvac stories? A Cap tie-in? Wonder Man apparently is a big power player. I can't make sense of it from wiki or amazon blurbs.
