Ditko certainly belongs there, but I wonder if he likes the idea or not.

Indeed. Very generous - especially when you consider the value and how much similar material has been lost.

One article I saw said that the donor checked with Ditko first to see if it was OK with him, and he said go. Of course, whether that was "it's not mine so I don't care" or if he was pleased with it, who can say.

My cousin just got a full time position there (library of congress).

I'll have to ask if she's seen it/heard about it.


She's seen letters from Thomas Jefferson and Bob Hope and stuff.

So this is ALL of the original art to that issue? Amazing that it's all in one collection.

be interesting to know who had it all these years.

Marvel art was stored poorly and often damaged, destroyed, or stolen.
