Thank you for the links..awesome!

What I don't understand is what does the post office have to do with the wrong thing being in your box, wouldn't it have been a mistake by the seller?!? I would have been all over the guy..specially this book..I refuse to think this book is gone..it's too sweet of a book..I am in denial..

Yeah, he hangs out with the Royal Court of Darkness but, he isn't a part of it..yet...I heard one time the Devil told Ditko that there was nothing he couldn't get..Ditko asked him for one crazy impossible thing..the Devil paused..paced..thought about it..and said..yes, I can get it, for your soul. As Ditko agreed, the Devil brought out the contract, when it was time to sign, Ditko said... "Even You!! Stop Hounding me! No Autographs, No exceptions!" .. Dtiko did not get what he asked for...he had walked away..

Fireboy...you gotta love these.. I get them from his most loyal confidants..

Not familiar with that acronym..not hip enough just yet..

Will do that but, last time we were at Ditko's front step, he had previously agreed, his assistant held us on his front door step for half an hour because he couldn't have so many people in Ditko's front yard (it was me, my sister's daughter, along with her whole girl scout troop, all 42 eight year olds girls)..we had to move to the sidewalk area..anyways..we were trying to raise money for the International coalition for drug awareness and spouse abuse by selling the oooohh sooo delicious chocolate chip cookies that everyone loves, when out of the blue, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, Ditko came out, and said "if you guys need anything, and I mean anything..just let me know".. I was a block away in the local McDonald's taking care of my bladder at the time but, as I was told, one of the girl scouts asked him if he was willing to draw a picture for fundraising, he agreed...then when a my then grlfriend (picture on top) asked him for a Spiderman sketch...he stopped smiling... then...he went bezerk!! and began a 3 minute rant about how he is more than a 'guy that knows how to draw Spiderman'.. started throwing the appetizers his secretary had prepared for us ..everyone started running.. all the girls were covered in cinnamon sooffley (misspelled)...it was a total disaster. On a good note, his neighbor did buy ten boxes of cookies.. I love the picture you posted...AWESOME!!!

Is it true that one time at a breast cancer awareness sit-in at DC, a girl was trying to get a few hundred signatures for a petition to send it to George Bush's reps, when she went up to Ditko,and asked him for his signature..he saw what he thought was a line behind her (There was a large crowd of people), he looked shocked, and furiously yelled: "WHAT?!?..This whole elaborate set-up for my signature? You are all crazy, crazy I tell you! I give NO AUTOGRAPHS, no exceptions!!!" .. he gave the girl the meanest dirtiest look ever, threw the petition on the ground, and stormed off.. Someone had to hand her the petition because she could not reach it from her wheelchair and was left completely baffled..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe whosever package you got, got yours, and the other guy not caring for some "old comic book" has it on a coffetable somewhere, and a in a year or two, when he gives it away, it'll appear in e-bay, without it being listed as a double cover, someone will buy it and get it slabbed in a con where Len Wein will be at and get it signed, only to come back as an SS comics that is a double cover!! The guy will get the suprise of his life, list it on an auction hoping for a gazillion dollars, only for me to buy it at the starting bid of 9.99 because the guy put no reserve price and nobody bothered to check online during those days....yeah, it will have a happy ending...

But in all seriousness..Ditko is the man..my hero, right up there with the likes of Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, Pee-Wee Herman (Pre-theater incident, of course!), and Dora La Exploradora.. man..they rock!

When you go see Ditko, can you bring the friend pictured in your avatar? Ask her to lift her shirt up and Steve might autograph her left breast. It worked with Alex Ross, he was trying to sign her breast with a pencil! To make matters worse, it was the eraser side..his cheecks turned a bit red... Totally made up...

I heard, little known fact I guess, that Ditko, besides freelancing, was also part of a vicious outlaw gang of ruthless criminals and gangters in the mid-60s, they would terrorize mild urban communities in the South central L A and in the upper Orange County areas. Anyways, my source ("Crazy Pancho" Gutierrez), said that one time, like five of them ended in an overnight holding cell because of an incident involving a one-eyed mentally challenged hooker, a midget on PCP, and an unpaid bar tab at an O'reilys Pub. The thing is, the next day, when they were getting let out, they were all picking up their belongings at a Police cage, the attendant would give them a release form and give them their stuff, when it was Ditko's turn, as Crazy Pacho goes on to tell, the attendant gave him the paper to sign, when Ditko was getting ready to sign, he stopped dead in his tracks, looked up, smirked.. and yelled "Why can't you guys get it through your thick skulls?!!? NO AUTOGRAPHS!!" The guy at the cage got the reciept back with a picture of a penus, and was left wondering who the heck this guy was!

WOW, unknown package arrives, no key double cover, immidiate payment, ..curiousity is KILLING me.what happened? did you get your book? If so..what condition was is it in? What did the seller say about all this? Man, that is seriously a kool one of a kind book..

Pinball ..total kudos on the great packaging on the chrome spidey 300 and the condition of the book. Awesome!!!!! Lucky 777 posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it true that one time Ditko was at an Albertson's grocery store check out line and when it was time to pay, he used his debit card, and when the clerk kindly asked him to place his "John Hancock" on the receipt, he looked up and said "pfft.. get in line" ... drew a circle on the paper...and walked away The checkout girl said.. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKAAYYYY"

sooo.. you're saying that dufman's comic is a total fake..show us the real Mcoy then..

:o WOW!!! That'z sick!!!!!!

Secret Invasion Hellafunny!!

Hurry up and post some pics. I love seeing foreign editions!! Brian Bad pics, I know but, here you go Brian, as requested for the One of a kind SS thread..

Yeah, for sure, this is my 2nd favorite Turner cover..deng..she's one hot momma!!

One of a kind SS books, just got them two days ago, thanks to the ingenuity and wit of par2ch: Mid-grade Secret Wars 8, Italian, Spanish, and French editions, signed by Zeck and Beatty :banana:

Is it true Ditko once passed a stop sign and got pulled over, the cop gave him the infraction and told him: "Sign here please.." Ditko looked up and said "You 're going to have to do better than that", perplexed, the policeman just looked towards the passenger side at his wife, she shrugged her shoulders and said "sorry, no autographs....no exceptions.." and he just put an X on the signature line...

Well.. if you guys are doing it.. maybe i should try my luck as well..

Dude your room is clean clean cleeeean!!! That is some very organized art, usually most of us have everything everywhere where things only make sense to us, that's pro... pro I tell you. I'd be afraid of going in there without any white cotton gloves, Small little figure section in between all the OCDness makes it all better.. wow!!

Picture from seller, got it a couple of weeks from Ebay Italia, blew my previous copy out of the water conditionwise. Love it..
