Can a date for the Blake Bell / Fantagraphics' Ditko book be far behind?

Would be nice if Fantagraphics could/would re-release their other Ditko collections as well...

Hopefully BBC America will air it some time soon

Yeah, no joke. They've got so many out of print Ditko books that I want it's ridiculous.

Hear hear. Who knows somebody at Fantagraphics that we can petition?

 

Of course, knowing Ditko, they only have the rights to have printed the original editions. I would be very surprised if he signs over blanket permission to reprint or recollect his content.

According to Blake:

 

"For those States-side, Ross has been credited with saying that he'll be putting up the documentary on YouTube for viewing (as he has done with other projects). No DVD release has been planned."

 

Hopefully Ross will YouTube it. (thumbs u

That seems to be what I recall, given that Ditko and Snyder self-published the later Ditko packages...
