IDW publishes Steve Ditko retrospective
IDW Publishing has announced The Art of Ditko, a retrospective exploring the work and influences of the legendary comics artist.

The book will feature an introduction by Stan Lee along with insights from P Craig Russell, John Romita and Jerry Robinson.

Ditko began working with Marvel precursor Atlas Comics in the 1950s and was responsible for the co-creation of the iconic Marvel characters Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.

"I'm excited to show these rare stories that pull back the curtain on how Ditko pushed the comics medium's storytelling techniques in radical, revolutionary ways that have been hidden by his stellar co-creation of Spider-man and Doctor Strange," said the book's editor and designer Craig Yoe in a press release.

The Art of Ditko is the first book to be published by IDW’s new imprint YOE Books.

It will be released in November.
