    Description

    Steve Ditko - Tales of Suspense #29, Splash Page 1 Original Art (Marvel, 1962). Steve Ditko brought a vigor and eccentric tone to his early 60s horror stories, and writer Stan Lee knew how to spur him to do his best work. Their twist-ending tales are drawn with the single-minded force of nightmares. This splash page from the story, "It Was Only a Simple Barber Shop... or Was It??!," is a highly stylized example of Ditko's talent, and is impossible to shake. The art has an image area of approximately 12" x 18" and, aside from a slight glue stain along the bottom, is in Excellent condition.
