Steve Ditko |
Micronauts v1 Annual #1, 1979 -
Steve Ditko's unapologetically stiff drawings seem oddly appropriate for a series based on the Mego line of action figures. The artist's adherence to a strict nine panel grid on most pages make the annual's length seem even longer. Still, there are a few noteworthy pages. Of the four full page splashes, page 16's summary and page 34's arena scene are both visually strong and memorable. The two page spread on pages 24-25 features an interesting portrait of the characters and various guests, drawn in typical logjam fashion. This is 1 of 2

I am not familiar with Ditko's work after the early 70's. This cover and interior does look like he positioned some toys and simply drew them as is. Kinda disappointing.
Sadly, most of his late 1970s to early 1980s work is similar to this. One exception is his terrific Shade series for DC.
