Ace Comics, one of my favorite indie publishers from the 1980s, has begun reselling some back issues featuring underrated and often forgotten work by Steve Ditko. This includes the 3 issue series of The Face (all with Ditko content), DareDevil battles The Claw and finally The Return of the Skyman. Thanks to Ron Frantz, the original publisher, and Mort Todd (a Ditko collaborator) these original issues can be ordered from this dedicated website:
T-shirts will soon be available with completed orders going towards funding a color collection of Ace Comics books. Or as described from the site:
In the late 1980s a new comic book company, ACE Comics, was founded with a dedication to quality! Publisher Ron Frantz amassed a group of legendary artists, including Steve Ditko, Alex Toth, C. C. Beck, Pat Boyette, and gained rights to some classic Golden Age comics. Due to the direct sales market at the time, ACE was not allowed to flourish though over the years respect for the line has increased. Now these rare comics are available to the public directly from Ron. ACE Comics is on the verge of relaunching and collecting some of these books in color… which will only make these back issues more valuable over time!
