I have just discovered a great interview by Blake Bell (publisher of many Steve Ditko books inc the archive series) on the fanboyradio comics podcast. The interview took place in 2008 and centres around the release of his first Steve Ditko book: “Strange and stranger: The world of Steve Ditko”. It is a great insight into Bell’s thoughts on Ditko – who really is an authority on the man. It delves into the famous Stan Lee/Steve Ditko debate as well as explaining and discussing other aspects like his personality and the philosophy of Objectivism.

The book is mostly lies. Got all facts wrong about Graphic Illusion.
