The Doctor is in!
Comic Works: A Strange Exhibit
There is something “strange” coming to the Bottle Works Steve Ditko Innovators Studio.
The home of Ditko’s legendary ink pens will become a little more mystical when 31 issues of Marvel Comics – Strange Tales featuring Doctor Strange arrive on display from Ditko Ink!
These books aren’t just incredible pieces of comic history featuring the origins of Steve Ditko’s most magical of creations, they are the books from his personal collection!!! They will be joined by what is believed to be the first-ever sketch of Doctor Strange by Mr. Ditko. A piece he drew on an envelope that accompanied a letter to his younger brother Patrick way back in 1946!
You aren’t going to see these anywhere else but in Steve’s hometown of Johnstown, PA!
Visit the Steve Ditko Innovators Studio and see the most exclusive collection of Steve Ditko memorabilia and books anywhere!
