This is IT! The second and final volume collecting the entirety of Steve Ditko's pre-superhero Marvel comics. These comics reflected and dissected the fears, anxieties an uncertainties of the Cold War era, and as such may have something to offer us today. Included here is Ditko's eight issue run of Amazing Adult Fantasy (#7 - #14) which is unquestionably among Ditko's greatest achievements. AAF was the closest Ditko & Lee came to having their own personal dual-creator auteur comics series. It was "The Magazine That Respects Your Intelligence" and came complete with a table of contents! This was a project that was clearly close to their hearts. One can almost detect a note of resignation when, with the 15th issue, they had to remove "Adult" from the title...
