Some more celebration of Steve Ditko, BOTD in 1927! Steve was a prolific contributor to Charlton Comics, including drawing one of my first professional stories for GHOSTLY HAUNTS #52 (October 1976), which I only found out when flipping through the printed issue at a candy store.

The final scripted episode and end-of-series synopsis of THE KINGS OF POVERTY ROW, my COVID-era make-work project about an idealistic young cartoonist/editor working for a sleazy dawn of the Golden Age comic book publisher! www.paulkupperberg.net/post/the-kin...

The Kings of Poverty Row, S1E5

The Kings of Poverty Row started as stage play that gradually outgrew the time restraints of the stage and evolved into scripts for a television series. It's set in 1939, in the world of the fictional Esteem Comics, owned by quick buck publishers Harold and Jake Dinwitz, and tells the tale of their intrepid young editor Shermy Markowitz's efforts to introduce quality and integrity into a business that believed both its product and its creators were dispensable.
