I was reading some more Blue Beetle and the Question last night by Steve Ditko, so today I ask...
TODAY'S TOSS-UP (7/21):
Who do you think is the better writer, Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko?

Ted, you never cease to challenge my brain to the point of overload. I go with the slight edge to Kirby. Ditko often wrote some fun and really complex philisophical comics. His drawback was that the themes started to get repettive. Kirby wasn't the master of smooth dialogue but he had so many varied concepts he gets my vote.

I haven't read any Ditko books other than Spider-Man. I'll have to give it to
Jack by default.

Hmm, crap. I'm going to have to say Kirby's writing, overall.

I haven't yet read Lord of the Rings so I'll go with Star Wars.

I think I have to say Ditko was the better writer, per se. I'm basing this mostly on the Mr. A stuff, frankly. Ditko's strong points as a writer seem better executed, though both men are prodigious idea machines. Plus, Ditko operated with far more psychologically complex characters, from Doc Strange to the Question to the Creeper to the Face.

My head! My head! Dammit, Ted!
If I must choose, Kirby.
