Outer Space #18 - Steve Ditko art

Outer Space #18

Outer Space v1 #18, 1958 - This premiere issue marks a change in format from horror (previously named This Magazine is Haunted) to science fiction. Four early Steve Ditko stories grace the interiors, most drawn in his quietly minimalist style. The exception is the third tale, "Assignment Treason", which stands out for its high level of effort and detail. The compositions within the panels are impressively textured and complex. Perhaps the other three stories were drawn much earlier, but they pale by comparison regardless. Other artists in this golden age science fiction comic include Rocky Mastroserio. This is 1 of 4 Outer Space issues by Ditko.
