An overview of STEVE DITKO's comics career (Part 5): 1970-1978

This video series originally began with the intention of showing the comics career of comic book creator Steve Ditko from 1953 to 2018, all in one long video. Unfortunately, it became clear that this would make the video way too long for most viewers to watch, so I have divided the different eras of Ditko's career into a series of separate videos. (As it is, these "smaller" parts are quite long indeed. This current video is the longest one yet, running over two hours!) Part One was about Ditko's work in the 1950s, Part Two was about Ditko's work from 1960 to 1965 (which was primarily about his 1960s Marvel comics) and Part Three was about the work he did after he left Marvel, during the years 1966 to 1969. Part Four focused entirely on Steve Ditko's ghost comics for Charlton Press in the 1970s. You can watch that video at the link below:    • An overview of STEVE DITKO's comics career...   This new video, Part Five, is about the rest of Ditko's work (the stuff not already covered in Part Four) that was published between 1970 and 1978. So, the video begins by covering his creator-owned work published between 1970 and 1975 (most of which was reprinted in THE DITKO COLLECTION Vol. One and Vol. Two). This is followed by a look at the superhero backup strips that Ditko drew for Charlton's E-MAN series. We then look at his work for Atlas-Seaboard in 1975 (e.g., DESTRUCTOR, TIGER-MAN), followed by his work for DC Comics in 1975 to 1978 (e.g., STALKER, SHADE THE CHANGING MAN). The video ends with a look at Ditko's final creator-owned work of the 1970s, i.e. the QUESTAR magazine (#1-5) strips from 1978-1979, and the comic he drew in IMAGINE #4 in 1978. At the end of 1978, Steve Ditko began to draw for Marvel again (in addition to continuing to draw for DC), with his first new Marvel work appearing in issues with 1979 cover-dates, and we'll look at those comics in the next video in this series, Part Six.
