    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.

  • The Proverbs
    Proverbs 1:1 1 Proverbs 1:19 The Proverbs 1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, the king of Israel: 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to comprehend the sayings of understanding; 3 To accept the instruction of intelligence, righteousness, and justice, and equity; 4 To give to the simple prudence, to the youth knowledge and discretion. 5 The wise will hear, and will increase [his] information; and the man of understanding will obtain wise counsels: 6 To understand a proverb, and a sage sentence; the words of the wise, and their riddles. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: wisdom and instruction fools [alone] despise. 8 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and cast not off the teaching of thy mother; 9 For a wreath of grace are they unto thy head, and chains for thy throat. 10 My son, if sinners wish to entice thee, consent thou not. 11 If they should say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us watch in concealment for the uselessly innocent; 12 We will swallow them up like the grave alive; and the men of integrity, as those that go down into the pit; 13 We shall find all [kinds of] precious wealth, we will fill our houses with booty; 14 Thy lot must thou cast in our midst; one purse shall be for us all: 15 My son, walk not thou on the way with them; withhold thy foot from their path; 16 For their feet run after evil, and they make haste to shed blood.

  • TASTE and PRUDENCE in the ART of JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman a Dissertation Submitted to the Johns Hopkins Universit
    TASTE AND PRUDENCE IN THE ART OF JUSEPE DE RIBERA by Hannah Joy Friedman A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May, 2016 Copyright Hannah Joy Friedman, 2016 (c) Abstract: Throughout his long career in southern Italy, the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera (1591- 1652) showed a vested interest in the shifting practices and expectations that went into looking at pictures. As I argue, the artist’s evident preoccupation with sensory experience is inseparable from his attention to the ways in which people evaluated and spoke about art. Ribera’s depictions of sensory experience, in works such as the circa 1615 Five Senses, the circa 1622 Studies of Features, and the 1637 Isaac Blessing Jacob, approach the subject of the bodily senses in terms of evaluation and questioning, emphasizing the link between sensory experience and prudence. Ribera worked at a time and place when practices of connoisseurship were not, as they are today, a narrow set of preoccupations with attribution and chronology but a wide range of qualitative evaluations, and early sources describe him as a tasteful participant in a spoken connoisseurial culture. In these texts, the usage of the term “taste,” gusto, links the assessment of Ribera’s work to his own capacity to judge the works of other artists. Both taste and prudence were crucial social skills within the courtly culture that composed the upper tier of Ribera’s audience, and his pictures respond to the tensions surrounding sincerity of expression or acceptance of sensory experience in a novel and often satirical vein.

  • Rogues in Dialogue: the Literature of Roguery in Spain And
    ROGUES IN DIALOGUE: THE LITERATURE OF ROGUERY IN SPAIN AND ENGLAND IN THE SIXTEENTH AND SEVENTEENTH CENTURIES By Anton Garcia-Fernandez Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Spanish December, 2011 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Dr. Edward H. Friedman Dr. Cathy L. Jrade Dr. Andrés Zamora Juárez Dr. Mark L. Schoenfield Copyright © 2011 Anton Garcia-Fernandez All Rights Reserved ii To my wonderful wife Erin, who gives meaning to everything in life iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS From a very early age, while I was growing up in the northwest of Spain, I was drawn to the great recordings of the legendary crooner and jazz vocalist Bing Crosby. It was by listening to his old records that I learned to speak English, so I owe a great deal of my vocabulary and writing style to Der Bingle. In his 1953 as-told-to autobiography Call Me Lucky—the first autobiographical text I ever read—Crosby reflects upon his immensely successful career and states that he has always strived to do his best at anything he attempted in life (57). Like the Old Groaner, I believe that throughout the two and a half years that it has taken me to research and write this dissertation I have tried to do my best to deliver a manuscript that is, I hope, thorough, clear, and engaging. However, the completion of this work would never have been possible without the help and encouragement of a group of people to whom I remain eternally grateful.

  • The Book of Dreams and Ghosts Preface
    THE BOOK OF DREAMS AND GHOSTS PREFACE TO THE NEW IMPRESSION Since the first edition of this book appeared (1897) a considerable number of new and startling ghost stories, British, Foreign and Colonial, not yet published, have reached me. Second Sight abounds. Crystal Gazing has also advanced in popularity. For a singular series of such visions, in which distant persons and places, unknown to the gazer, were correctly described by her, I may refer to my book, The Making of Religion (1898). A memorial stone has been erected on the scene of the story called “The Foul Fords” (p. 269), so that tale is likely to endure in tradition. July, 1899. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION The chief purpose of this book is, if fortune helps, to entertain people interested in the kind of narratives here collected. For the sake of orderly arrangement, the stories are classed in different grades, as they advance from the normal and familiar to the undeniably startling. At the same time an account of the current theories of Apparitions is offered, in language as free from technicalities as possible. According to modern opinion every “ghost” is a “hallucination,” a false perception, the perception of something which is not present. It has not been thought necessary to discuss the psychological and physiological processes involved in perception, real or false. Every “hallucination” is a perception, “as good and true a sensation as if there were a real object there. The object happens not to be there, that is all.” {0a} We are not here concerned with the visions of insanity, delirium, drugs, drink, remorse, or anxiety, but with “sporadic cases of hallucination, visiting people only once in a lifetime, which seems to be by far the most frequent type”.
