Discuss two of comic-book history's top artists: Steve Ditko & Jack Kirby, responsible for Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, The Creeper, The Hawk & The Dove, Mr. A., The Question, Captain Atom, Captain America, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, the X-Men, etc. You don't have to talk about BOTH; if you like Ditko, just talk about Ditko (same for Kirby).

FOUR SIMPLE RULES FOR ENJOYING THIS GROUP:
Please observe 4 rules, instituted to ensure your optimal enjoyment:

1) "OT:" - if your post has nothing to do with Ditko or Kirby, you must start your Subject Header with this, identifying that your post is off topic. If you forget to do this, the moderator will kindly ask.

2) Political Discussions - not an option. Politics of any kind will only be tolerated if the conversation links directly to Ayn Rand or Steve Ditko. If you submit a post that is OT/related to politics, you will be asked by the moderator to refrain.

3) Respect and Dignity - just because I can't see you there behind your computer doesn't mean I won't terminate your membership at my discretion if you start/continue a “flame war”. Your intent is not important; it's the impact your words & tone have. You also don’t need to have the last word if it's at the expense of the other members’ enjoyment of this group. Take such concerns offline with the offending individual, and let the moderator handle the originator of any such indignities. You are not to become more important than the list's mandate. Do so repeatedly, your membership will be terminated without warning. I reserve the right to put the whole list on moderation or individual members. New members start on moderation owing to spammers.

4) Clip the replies you're quoting. Don't be lazy & leave an entire digest or ridiculously long message under your own. Have respect for those reading digests.

For all 4 rules, the moderator operates on a 3-strike rule. Please be accountable in making this a desirable place to share information on Ditko and Kirby.
