In the third installment of the Steve Ditko career retrospective, Ditko goes back to Marvel Comics to work on Machine Man and The Micronauts. He also works with Pacific Comics, Eclipse Comics, Dark Horse and Fantagraphics. all for a very limited time.

In the late 1990′s and up until today, Ditko, along with Robin Snyder, has put out a lot of self-published work including his own collected editions of Mr. A, The Mocker, The Missing Man and Static as well as original works and essays. He has also published several classic works in very affordable paperbacks that can be found at his own website and at Discount Comic Book Service.

Lastly, I’m giving away three Steve Ditko books to one luckly listener! Listen to find out how you can win Strange Suspense The Steve Ditko Archives Vol 1 HC, Strange & Stranger The World of Steve Ditko HC both by Blake Bell and The Art of Ditko HC by Craig Yoe – a $110 value! Thanks to Fantagraphics and IDW for supplying the books.

All this including the Glyph Award Best Reprint Collection nominees, the Eisner Hall of Fame nominees, an e-mail regarding sold out and very high priced Legion of Superheroes Archives Volume 8 and the New Releases of the Week.

This week on the Steve Ditko career retrospective, I take a look at his return to Charlton (although some would argue he never left), his limited time at Warren and his entire time at DC Comics. This includes the great characters he created: Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, The Question, The Hawk and The Dove and The Creeper.  And the history lesson wouldn’t be complete without a mention of Mr. A or The Watchmen.

Much of Ditko’s work from this period has been collected in the Action Hero Archives Volumes 1-2, Creepy Archives Volumes 1-4 and Eerie Archives Volumes 1-2 from Dark Horse, and the upcoming Creeper HC from DC.

All this including IDW’s Fallen Angel Omnibus, Absolute All-Star Superman and the New Releases of the Week from DC and Marvel.

So you’ve seen the Watchmen movie and you’ve read the Watchmen trade paperback and are now longing for more. Well there’s no better place then to start from the beginning; with the Charlton Heroes characters that Watchmen were based upon. Today on the show I go over where you can find Captain Atom (Dr. Manhattan), The Blue Beetle (Nite Owl), The Question (Rorschach), Nightshade (Silk Spectre), Peacemaker (The Comedian) and Thunderbolt (Ozymandias) in collected edition form. It’s another trip down memory lane as we look at the characters in their Charlton incarnation as well as their DC Comics incarnation when they were integrated in the DCU post Crisis On Infinite Earths.

Also on the show I read two e-mails, one regarding the reproduction quality of DC Comics Classics Library: Superman – Kryptonite Nevermore and another on how I first came to be acquainted with Watchmen back in 1986.

All this and the New Releases of the Week.
