To Susan Straight, who was there when no one else was; Goldberry Long, for your tremendously helpful insights about revision; Juan Felipe Herrera, for banishing my gremlins; Tom Lutz, for your empathy and humor; Chris Abani, for the first call that brought me to Riverside and the humanity that you bring to your teaching; Mike Davis, for everything. These two years at UCR would have been unlivable without the friendship and camaraderie of my fellow writers: Kris Ide, Angel García, David Campos, and Sara Borjas. Marc, for making sure I got my grad school applications in on time. Rachelle Cruz, I could not have made it this far without you and your generosity. You have been a beacon in my night. Jill, Ed, and Casey, for being my besties through the thinnest of years.

    Since I Began Reading the Work of Steve Ditko I Wanted to Have a Checklist So I Could Catalogue the Books I Had Read but Most Im

    Since I began reading the work of Steve Ditko I wanted to have a checklist so I could catalogue the books I had read but most importantly see what other original works by the illustrator I can find and enjoy. With the help of Brian Franczak’s vast Steve Ditko compendium, Ditko-fever.com, I compiled the following check-list that could be shared, printed, built-on and probably corrected so that the fan’s, whom his work means the most, can have a simple quick reference where they can quickly build their reading list and knowledge of the artist. It has deliberately been simplified with no cover art and information to the contents of the issue. It was my intension with this check-list to be used in accompaniment with ditko-fever.com so more information on each publication can be sought when needed or if you get curious! The checklist only contains the issues where original art is first seen and printed. No reprints, no messing about. All issues in the check-list are original and contain original Steve Ditko illustrations! Although Steve Ditko did many interviews and responded in letters to many fanzines these were not included because the checklist is on the art (or illustration) of Steve Ditko not his responses to it. I hope you get some use out of this check-list! If you think I have missed anything out, made an error, or should consider adding something visit then email me at ditkocultist.com One more thing… share this, and spread the art of Steve Ditko! Regards, R.S.
