In the mid-1960s, while Steve Ditko was concluding his legendary run as the co-creator of Spider-Man, he was quietly leading a second creative life in a shared Manhattan studio with artist Eric Stanton. This volume documents their unlikely partnership, collecting the thirteen \u201cStantoons\u201d where Ditko brought his distinct inking style to Stanton\u2019s provocative pencils. Featuring themes of fighting females and dominant women, these installments were sold exclusively through private mail order and produced entirely outside the boundaries of the comics mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection represents the complete Stanton-Ditko Stantoons series as it was published, showcasing a rare synergy between Stanton\u2019s fetish-leaning scenarios and the craftsmanship of one of the industry\u2019s most influential stylists. Included are favorites such as \u201cDivorce Agreement,\u201d \u201cMy Husband, the Loser,\u201d \u201cBroken Engagement,\u201d and the Mad magazine-inspired \u201cOn a Kinky Hook,\u201d which stand as the high point of the duo\u2019s creative collaboration. These works offer a rare, unfiltered glimpse into Ditko\u2019s creative life during his transition away from Marvel Comics and into a more independent era of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric Stanton<\/strong>
Eric Stanton (1926-1999) was a pioneering illustrator of fetish art, who believed that every artist should be free to follow his (or her) own muse. And he risked his entire career on this belief, even if it meant living underground in complete obscurity. His association with Steve Ditko, Irving Klaw, Bettie Page, Gene Bilbrew, and other figures of the New York underground of the 1950s and \u201960s, is the stuff of legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read more about his early years of struggle and doubt in the hardcover book, Eric Stanton & The History of the Bizarre Underground<\/em><\/a> (now available on Amazon), which features over 400+ illustrations\/photos and the backstory of Irving Klaw, Bettie Page, Charles Guyette, Steve Ditko, Gene Bilbrew, Leonard Burtman, and so many more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
