State of Affairs
as of April 8th, 2008

The reality is these lists haven't been updated in quite awhile (since 2002), but the next item for this site on my agenda is correcting/adding all needed information.

I'd love to build an "automated," searchable checklist, so if you have any experience in this area and would like to volunteer, please e-mail me.

You have before you three different Ditko checklists to cover all your needs. First is the alphabetical list, original or reprint. Reprints are clearly marked as such, plus everything relating to said issue is in italics. Second is a company-by-company list for those comic-con dealers who sort the older stuff this way. Third is the chronological one, tracing Ditko's work year-by-year in two parts; originals and reprints. All apologies are made now to those who buy a book and find an error. Please check the book before you buy it.

1) ALPHABETICAL

Part 1 : A-C - Part 2 : D-H - Part 3 : I-M
Part 4 : N-S - Part 5 : T-Z

2) BY COMPANY

Marvel : A-L - Marvel : M-Z
Charlton - Everyone Else

3) CHRONOLOGICAL

Part 1 : '53-62 - Part 2 : '63-71 - Part 3 : '72-02
Reprints '62-79 - Reprints '80-02

While I did ALL the HTML-ing for all the checklists here, others were responsible for devising the data that comprises them. I combined my checklists with those of Bill Hall and Bob Heer. I cannot understate the work of Bill Hall here. His fanzine, ''DITKOMANIA'', was the original source for the original chronological checklist which ran from issues #34-41, dated to 1993. Many hours were saved when Bob Heer sent me the updated, 1997 version of Bill Hall's chronological checklist.
