Tales to Astonish #15 - Jack Kirby art & cover, Steve Ditko art

Jack Kirby

Tales to Astonish v1 #15, 1961 - One of Jack Kirby's silliest creations, the Blip is an alien comprised of pure electricity. But is he friend or foe to humanity? Kirby's art seems less enthused this issue, but Steve Ditko's tale more than compensates. In it, an ambitious professor forces a reclusive old witch to give him the power of invisibility. Ditko shows no lack of effort, crafting each panel with care. His use of open panels add an ethereal quality, culminating in the final panel. This story was later reprinted in Chamber of Darkness #8. Other artists in this silver age comic include Don Heck. This is 15 of 57 Tales to Astonish issues by Ditko and 14 of 81 Tales to Astonish issues by Kirby.
