Because the color versions of the story (at least as published by Charlton) are superior in every way to the black & white versions published by Ditko and Snyder.<br />James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28944274.post-71061646226166580632013-04-14T08:48:13.608-04:002013-04-14T08:48:13.608-04:00I don't think I've ever seen a single B&am...I don't think I've ever seen a single B&W comic from Eclipse, so I'd be very surprised if they WEREN'T in color.Henry R.

He obviously intended it as a more mainstream way to reach comic readers with his Ayn Rand propaganda. It's fun to read because the art is nice--some of it on a par with his Spider-man days--and the dialog and politics are so insane that it's unintentionally funny and completely bat-shit crazy.<br /><br />The black and white stuff in the STATIC book that you can pick up from him now is good, but I was blown away when I finally saw it in color. Color is the way it SHOULD be seen. I'm not sure if any of the Eclipse books the Static story appeared in were in color. If so, I'll have to search them out.<br />James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28944274.post-76069393882185968052013-04-13T22:22:08.903-04:002013-04-13T22:22:08.903-04:00Thanks for posting.

I'll pass 'em on to Nick Simon; Ditko's his favorite artist.<br /><br />I have read about this character, whose adventures were collected awhile back. One more thing for my ever-growing "git" list.

Thiese all the things I wanna GIT for Christmas."<br />"Where's your GIVE list?"<br />"My WHAT?"<br />"Never mind..."Henry R.
