Ive been eyeballing this one for awhile and I finally picked it up. I love the cover and one other great appeal about it is it was done by the late great Jim Aparo! I love the colors of this cover!  |

Here is a really nice Ditko cover and this cover also reappears in an interior story. Honestly, I think some of Ditko's best work came in Charlton books. Im not a tremendous Ditko fan, but when he hits it, I really love his style. I notice he hit it a lot with Charlton. Although, the opposite is true too. I have seen some of his works looked rushed and raw and not that great. I cannot say that about this one. I think this one is a real nice piece of work.  |

Here is an example of Ditko looking a bit rushed to me. But Ive seen a heck of a lot worse. But, even still, I think he work sometimes has a quirky LSD type atmosphere that Ive come to enjoy. So even though this isnt a favorite piece....I still like it.  |

Well, that about does it for the books I got on Saturday, except 1 not pictured I got from the dumpster. Anyway, moving on. Brother J, I forgot to mention that I liked the Romance books you put up. I have none of them. The Romance books I do have come from Q. I was lucky enough that some time ago, he sent me a huge collection of Charltons which really picked my collection way up and put me on the frantic path I am currently on. It was his contribution that sort of put me on my way. I can thank him enough. Anyway, here is one of the Romance books he sent me. I love the drama here...  |

I have quite a few of these because they are usually cheap and easy to get. My wife hates them because they are gray and dark and kind of bland looking. I think when I picked up my 1st one a long time ago, I felt the same way. But now, I have grown kind of fond of them. This is perhaps my favorite cover of the ones I own.  |

I have a few of the Westerns too. Again, usually cheap when you find them. I found this one in a dumpster for less than $1. I thought it was a steal because its an early 80s edition in way above average shape!  |

Gotta grab any Ditko cover when it looks like he was trippin off acid. Gotta love it when Ditko did drugs.  |

Well, that it for this time. Its getting late. Hopefully I have convinced someone, or at least pushed them in the direction of thinking..."They weren't ALL bad"....

Dang.....now I want to pick up some Space Adventures books now......
I did just pick up the hardback version of some of the Ditko stories. It has a fun cover. I'll try to find a pic of it (I'm at work).

The guy who publishes the Twomorrows books says he always puts his favorite cover on the hardback.
