Description
Steve Ditko Marvel Collectors' Item Classics #10 Doctor Strange Pin-Up Original Art (Marvel, 1967). This "Marvel Masterwork" features the Marvel-ous Master of the Mystic Arts... Dr. Strange! Here he is sitting majestically in a chair, as his astral form separates itself from his body. It's a gorgeous pin-up by one of Stephen Strange's most popular artists-his legendary creator, none other than the Master of the Mystic Artwork, Steve Ditko. The twice-up knockout, while published for the first time in this issue, was undoubtedly drawn earlier in Ditko's Strange Tales run, the peak period of him playing a huge role in inventing the entire visual vocabulary of the Marvel Universe, and the image is as perfect as a collector could hope for. Many collectors believe it was originally intended for publication in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #2, which featured Dr. Strange, and which, Iike ASM Annual #1, also featured pin-ups done in this style. One of the truly great images from the entire Marvel Silver Age!Created in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 12.5" x 18.75". The top banner is a stat paste-up. There are whiteout text corrections in the top portion. Lightly toned and in Very Good condition.
From the David Mandel Collection.
