It couldn't be better timed with the DR STRANGE movie being on release.<br /><br />GCD splits the plotting credit between Lee and Ditko. I'd suggest that the core plot came from Stan and the details and scene structure came from Steve, supported by your observation on how close the origins of Droom and Strange are.AirPiratePresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136561512898563240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-60385095591888285812016-11-13T08:51:51.881-08:002016-11-13T08:51:51.881-08:00Just found your blog, through Kid's, Al and ad...Just found your blog, through Kid's, Al and added it to my list.<br />It's interesting looking through the early sixties covers, just how many pre-super hero names you spot in these Atlas/Marvel titles!<br />I wonder how many people know that the first "Hulk" was actually brown?<br />Anyway, I shall enjoy going through your archives, Al!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-37066728873467494832016-11-13T07:22:27.311-08:002016-11-13T07:22:27.311-08:00Thank you.

Besides, I know you'd never publish anything you thought was total rubbish, so that's an endorsement I very much appreciate.<br /><br />Interestingly, I noticed after writing the piece that Ditko is credited (in Dr. Strange Mystic Apprentice #1) as having plotted the origin tale in ST #115. I'd say it's more likely he co-plotted it with Stan Lee, otherwise we'd have to conclude that Ditko himself used Dr. Droom's origin as a template for Strange's. That would mean he was definitely influenced by Stan's earlier character, drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve himself. Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
