Here’s a too-short bit of fun with Stephen Colbert and Tony Bennett, from Wednesday’s show. Hey, if Colbert does more of this, he could expand to an hour and offer a real alternative to Leno and Letterman!

In Search of Steve Ditko – Part 6
Hmm. This is interesting. While explaining his position on who did what in the creation of Spider-Man, Stan Lee actually looks like a Ditko character!

In Search of Steve Ditko – Part 5
This part of the documentary covers Ditko after he left Marvel. I really liked a lot of his stories for ultra-cheapie publisher Charlton, in Derby, CT. They were reminiscent of his mystery stories at Marvel before the return of super-hero comics in ’61-’62.

In Search of Steve Ditko – Part 4
That’s Jazzy Johnny Romita in the preview frame. He took over drawing The Amazing Spider-Man in 1966, after Steve Ditko abruptly quit the book and left Marvel Comics. Ditko returned to Marvel later, but he never drew Spider-Man again.

Before there was Dr. Strangelove, there was … Dr. Strange!
