*Marvel: Spidey Ditko collectors should not overlook the two superb annuals he did whilst at Spidey’s artistic helm. The second of these, whilst not featuring the giant-length blockbuster of #1, nevertheless features a lovely 20 page new story co-starring Ditko’s other co-creation Dr Strange (and reprints of early Spidey stories and a Rogues’ Gallery pin-up section). Steve Ditko was given full rein on his two major Marvel co-creations and was equally at home in moody cityscapes and fantastic mystical realms. A real treat. This is a decent pence stamped copy, virtually intact squarebound spine with tiny tear at bottom front and 2 cm tear top rear, some reading and handling wear, some faint-ish writing imprints on the cover and a vestige of a central vertical crease. But good staples and pages and a solid copy.
