Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. -- Psalm 69:6 |

Media Release -- Five years before his breakthrough as the co-creator of Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and other classic super-heroes for Marvel Comics in the early 1960s, Steve Ditko, inspired by the freedom he found at the laissez-faire Charlton Comics, was turning out some of the best work of his career.
Media Release -- Now available in stores, IDW Publishing and its imprint, YOE Books, are proud to announce, The Art of Ditko, a beautifully designed, large format retrospective on the art and influence of Steve Ditko. All this week, the International Team of Comics Historians (ITCH) blog will be celebrating the new book and the creator who inspired it at superitch.com. The ITCH blog will feature daily full-length Ditko stories from the book, plus the regular ITCH feature, "It's Wacky Wonder Woman Wednesday," will have a bizarre drawing of Wonder Woman and Hitler by Ditko, and Friday FLICKS will have a special Ditko documentary.
Media Release -- Steve Ditko, the co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, remains an enigma, though this new book draws us closer to the artist and gives us a better understanding of his amazing work.
Media Release -- THE CREEPER BY STEVE DITKO HC has been expanded to include a never-before-published story originally slated to appear in SHOWCASE #106.
The 25-page story, entitled "Enter Dr. Storme," is written and illustrated by Ditko, and features an appeance by Ditko's character The Odd Man. It will be printed in black and white.
Media Release -- Coming this November, IDW Publishing and its imprint YOE Books are proud to announce, The Art of Ditko, a beautifully designed, large format retrospective on the art and influence of Steve Ditko. Comics legend Stan Lee provides a glowing introduction, while P. Craig Russell, John Romita, and Jerry Robinson each offer their own insights into this enigmatic and incredible creator. In addition to these one of a kind essays, The Art of Ditko also introduces fans to the very best of Ditko's rare and striking work. The Art of Ditko is the first book from IDW's new imprint YOE Books, and is edited and designed by Craig Yoe (Secret Identity).
Media Release -- Yoe is coming to IDW! On the heels of the media frenzy surrounding his highly-acclaimed new book, Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-Creator Joe Shuster, IDW is proud to announce Yoe! Books, a new imprint that will publish numerous books by the author, editor and designer Craig Yoe, beginning with The Art of Ditko, a large-format book and The Complete Milt Gross Life Story and Comic Books, both releasing this fall. Ditko features little-seen stories and original artwork and an introduction by Stan Lee. Milt Gross sports a FOLD-INtroduction by Mad magazine's Al Jaffee and scarce ephemera and comics. These first two offerings foretell the genre-spanning range of Yoe! Books.
Per Blake Bell, Steve Ditko will be releasing his new comic DITKO ETC. later this month.
