Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko by Steve Ditko, Blake Bell

5.0

Great overview of a comic innovator, who like Jack Kirby watched his work make Marvel millions,but who also sabotaged his own success thru his 100% adoption of Ayn Rands objectivist philosophies. Its a turning point where objectivism took over his work and life, severing work relationships, disappointing his fans and worse still sacrificed all the great technique that made him the great storyteller just to preach his divisive libertarian views. This book is essential: Excellent reproductions of his art and very sharp but sympathetic critical analysis of his work both technically and philosophically.
