Micronauts #39 - Steve Ditko art

Micronauts #39
Micronauts v1 #39, 1982 - The title pursues a new direction, starting from the backdrop of a New York City comic book store. The artwork by Steve Ditko is frankly not among his best. His layouts are painfully monotonous, with most pages adhering to a six panel grid. Making matters worse, inker Danny Bulanadi overwhelms the pencils with his handiwork. This is Ditko's only work on the regular series, but he did illustrate two Micronauts annuals. This issue also includes splendid cover art by Michael Golden. This is number 1 of 1 Micronauts issues by Ditko

Bulandi's heavy inking added nothing to Ditko's work. While some of Ditko's own inking in this period was weak and inconsistent, it would have been an improvement over Bulandi, who also overwhelmed Ditko on Indiana Jones. Ditko's Micronauts Annual, which he inked himself, looked better.

I'm not a big fan of Ditko's late 70s - early 80s work, even with his own inks, but I see what you mean.
