Description:

Steve Ditko - Original Art for Complete 4-page Story, "No Way Back" (undated). This space-opera, a Steve Ditko-illustrated tale, uses most of the Star Trek TV series' character names: Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, Spock, Sulu, Nurse Chapel, the Starship Enterprise, and so on. Some wag has taken a formerly straight-forward Steve Ditko SF yarn, and rewritten and relettered the dialogue, to transform the story into this parody. The art is beautifully detailed, carefully inked, Steve Ditko magic, much in the style of his 1970s Charlton SF work. The overall art paper measures 13.75" x 20.25", with an art area of 12" x 18". The art is in very fine shape. Images of a space battle, a galactic romance, and a planetary eden are given the unique Ditko touch. The altered lettering is professionally done, and not every word balloon has been reworked. Steve Ditko and Star Trek: a double collectible! A production note at the top indicates this story was slated for Flash Gordon Companion #16.

Steve Ditko: (American b. 1927): A comic book artist and writer perhaps most celebrated as the co-creator of the Marvel heroes Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. Ditko also worked on the Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, and the Question for Charlton Comics, as well as Hawk and Dove and the Creeper for DC. He has also self-published stories featuring Mr. A. and The Avenging World, philosophical titles thought to be inspired by Ayn Rand's Objectivism and the writings of Aristotle.
