XO VS AX: Hi,Many fans didn't know that J.Shooter talked S.Ditko  into helping create valiant.  If you look at any graded label cgc for This issue #6, CGC states that Steve Ditko and Bob Layton did the Interior artwork. Wow.that's why this amazing issue was so powerful in the visual story style that Ditko contributed to this Modern master piece Issue for the Modern times. Ditko  then went on to help Jim with Dark Dominion for Defiant. S.Ditko drew pages for Shadow man ,X-O Manowar and other projects  for valiant.If your a long time Ditko fan, it should be obvious  when looking at the stances,legs,feet position,to clearly see Ditkos work.also he gets credits  in issue#6  of X-0.  I had many pages from this awesome issue ,but all sold yrs ago.get this awesome historic piece that collectors  would prize as most art from Ditko is extremely expensive.see my many diverse items be listed with new items all the time.I added the cvr from B. Layton and and showing you extra pics where Ditkos work is so evident and he added a powerful touch to Bob Layton's inks, incredible art,I owned those great underwater fight scenes at one time but sold to art collector  friend of mine.fan,of course!see my other rather diverse item's from yrs of collecting.
