American Update: Steve Ditko at DC 1968: Complete runs of Creeper and Hawk & Dove
*DC: To the dismay of Marvelites everywhere, Steve Ditko left Spider-Man and Doctor Strange at Marvel in 1968 and moved over to DC, where he created two quirky series, whose reputations live on to this day, despite short runs on both their titles. The Creeper debuted in Showcase #73 and went on to a six issue series; Hawk & Dove were in Showcase #75 and also went into their own series for six issues. We suspect the cancellation of both series may have had as much to do with Ditko’s poor health at the time as with sales figures (Hawk & Dove was in fact finished off by Gil Kane, himself no piker, of course). We’re delighted to present both Showcase issues and every issue of both series in a mixture of grades. The characters Ditko created still crop up in various places throughout the DCU, and here’s your chance to acquire the full vintage collections of both series!
