The late Steve Ditko — one of the all-time greats — was known for many things: Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, the Creeper, the Question, and on and on and on.

So dig these 13 COVERS from Ghostly Tales — each one wild in its own Ditko way.
Far out.

Happy Birthday Mr Ditko. Love his Charlton comics.

I remember when a lot of “head” friends claimed that the op art of the Sixties was inspired by Steve Ditko’s work, and the debate rolled “No it wasn’t” “Yes it is.”
Having followed Ditko’s CDC weird comics (only a nickel for 1950s comics) long before Spider-Man, I easily believed it was likely. Ditko could have made Casper far out weird.
