    The Thing! #17 (Charlton) November 1954 Steve Ditko (pencils, inks)

    By virtue of age and circumstance, Ditko missed the chance to develop completely as a horror artist before the industry-imposed Comics Code squelched the free reign enjoyed in the early 1950’s. Ditko reveled in this short-lived freedom: his imagery of buzzying electric chairs, dismemberment and death by drowning continued the trend of horror that was garnering such negative attention. Ditko was not a major player in the controversies that led up to the Code, but he operated in the same millieu; Fredric Wertham’s attack on comics, Seduction of the Innocent, cited a non-issue of The Thing! for its graphic violence.
