Steve Ditko was born Nov. 2, 1927. He’s 88 years old.

Steve Ditko. One of the most scrutinized and inscrutable creators in comics history.

This year, we’re doing a double 13 COVERS salute. In this installment, we’re featuring Ditko’s work for DC and Charlton — with characters that later became part of DC.

The other tribute? 13 SPIDER-MAN COVERS, which you can find here.

As usual, I’m going to emphasize my standard caveat: This is a subjective list and not a ranking of any kind. This is pretty much what I dig and you may feel very differently. So, rather than beef about a cover you don’t see, instead join in the fun and share your own choices in the comments section or in whatever social-media thread you saw this.
