Go, Read: Steve Bissette on Steve Ditko and Blake Bell’s Strange and Stranger
Steve Bissette's post about Blake Bell's new Steve Ditko biography/art book Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko is of high quality in general, but I'm outright jealous of two lines of analysis. The first is his comparison of Ditko's relationship with Robin Snyder to Alan Moore's relationship with Chris Staros; the second is his call to view Ditko's career in terms of a continuity that stresses professional treatment far more than it does financial concerns, which is a tweak on conventional wisdom that seems totally logical but I don't remember it being emphasized that way before.
