Yup - some of Ditko's best work ever was for the Warren mags.

There's a good chapter about his collaboration with Archie Goodwin in Blake Bell's fantastic bio of Ditko.

That all Ditko issue (along with the all Toth) is tough to find.

When you look at his artwork it's fantastic and Dahliesque surreal almost dreamlike landscapes I

It must get snapped up quite quickly by collectors Ditko's work being so collectable

I'd very likely come across some of Ditko's Spider-Man & Dr. Strange stories in Marvel Tales & the like by then, but the first time I distinctly remember being really blown away by something of his was when I encountered "The Shrieking Man" (originally published in Eerie #4) in the 1969 Eerie Yearbook, around the time I turned 10. Great stuff.

Steve Ditko really knocked himself out on those Warren jobs, in my opinion, his best work ever, revealing his skills at varying his style from story to story. The one about the cursed book -- with the book's reader's eyes changing from page to page until the final page...a real "Good lord! >choke!<" moment -- has always been my favorite of the bunch.

I wonder how Ditko liked working for Jim Warren and Archie Goodwin, as opposed to Smilin' Stan Lee?

Aloha,

Scott!

never liked his spidey stuff but he improved it a lot in eerie

A quick search thru Richard Arndt's Warren index shows that Ditko's original work for Warren appeared in Creepy #9-16 and Eerie #3-10. Those 16 stories were all reprinted in later issues, some more than once. Issues with Ditko reprints are Creepy #21, 24-27 and Yearbook #3 & 4, and Eerie #17, 21, 22, 42, 135 (the all-Ditko issue) and Yearbook #1 & 3.
