Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Cover art looks nothing like Ditko, if anything it's Mike Zeck who famously did the Punisher mini back then...
Digging into it... yup! Mike Zeck!

thanks. fixed
Ditko DID do the interior art though!
imagine having Ditko back in the fold and having him do fucking Chuck Norris comics? late 80s Marvel is a mess.
The Star line was specifically targeted at young kids and this was adapting a cartoon. 😉
so it was technically a high profile project worthy of Ditko's involvement?
Dunno, maybe someone convinced him to do it for kids?
Stranger things have happened, Raul Julia in the Street Fighter movie comes to mind...
Knowing what kind of person Ditko was - he was probably sold on Chuck Norris beating bad guys. Kinda like Charles Bronson was sold on all these Charles Bronson movies because he liked shooting them bastards.
