1968 DC Comics Showcase #73 "Beware The Creeper" House Ad



DC promoted the event of a popular artist moving into their stable with "Steve Ditko Strikes Again!" I suppose that would be a strike in the baseball sense, as like Jack Kirby, none off Ditko's DC creations ever caught fire like the Marvel ones. In fact, I'd say the Charlton heroes DC bought about fifteen years later have profited them far more than the Creeper, Stalker or Hawk & Dove... although the Vertigoized Shade the Changing Man had a longer run than any of them. I'm hoping I'll have some Creeper up here for October, although perhaps not in the manner you may expect...

Steve Ditko created the Creeper?! I guess you really do learn something new every day...
