Haunted #5 - Steve Ditko art & cover

Steve Ditko

Haunted v1 #5, 1972 - Steve Ditko contributes two fine stories as he continues his run on this Charlton horror series. Although "The Garden Of 1,000 Delights" mostly adheres to a common six panel grid, he fills the panels with beautifully intricate, Asian-inspired patterns. "This Is How It Is!" tells of a family fight over a substantial inheritance. Ditko's second tale is a tad better than the first, incorporating more detail, textures, and surprisingly effective pale-colored backgrounds (pages 7-8). This is a fine example of the artist's uniqueness and creativity. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Don Perlin and Nicholas Alascia.
