Outer Space #20 - Steve Ditko art

Outer Space #20

Outer Space v1 #20, 1958 - Steve Ditko contributed three stories, his last for this Charlton science-fiction title. Two are mildly interesting, I admit, even with their flat, simplistically graphic approach. Of the three, Ditko seems to put more effort into "The Greater Jovians", a tale of planetary famine. The artist cleverly uses full pages and insets to reinforce the theme of relative scale (see interior page below). This golden age issue includes art by Sol Brodsky and Maurice Whitman. Cover by Dick Giordano (although the machinery looks suspiciously like Wally Wood).
