Strange Tales #90 - Jack Kirby art & cover, Steve Ditko art

Jack Kirby

Strange Tales v1 #90, 1961 - One of the goofier monsters on this series, Orrgo travels to Earth to show his alien brethren the ease of conquest. Lacking the usual bold opening splash, Jack Kirby's artwork falls below his usual standards. His circus-themed cover is his interesting contribution. In Steve Ditko's tale, a scientist ingests an experimental serum that allows him to live for a thousand years. His drawings are merely adequate, neither his best nor his worst effort. This story was later reprinted in Chamber of Darkness #8. Other artists in this silver age comic include Joe Maneely. This is 26 of 82 Strange Tales issues by Ditko and 23 of 74 Strange Tales issues by Kirby.
