In Praise of Steve Ditko

I’m so happy I could just plotz! No seriously. I was reading the latest issue of Comic Shop News and I learned that in February, DC Comics will be publishing a hard-bound edition of Steve Ditko’s The Creeper. Including a 25-page, never-before-published Creeper story.

You have no understanding of how very excited I am. When Steverino left Marvel and Spidey in 1968 and went over to DC, he created my other favorite character, The Creeper. Just recently, I was looking around for what I knew had to exist, a collected edition of Steve’s Creeper. Little did I know that I was prescient and saw the immediate future.

No I can barely contain myself, and I’m not entirely sure that I can wait that long.
