The Masked Marvel

Few creators have left their mark like the inimitable Steve Ditko. His unmistakable creative vision brought the world the Amazing Spider-Man, Doctor Strange - and, in 1988, Speedball! Together with writers Roger Stern, Tom DeFalco and Jo Duffy, Ditko crafted the adventures of Robbie Baldwin, a high school student with strange other-dimensional powers that create an energetic kinetic field, transforming him into Speedball! In the classic Ditko style, Baldwin's life is complicated - his father is a district attorney with no love for costumed vigilantes, and there is serious marital strife between Robbie's parents. This complete collection brings together every Steve Ditko tale of the future New Warriors superstar for the first time! Collecting SPEEDBALL #1-10 and material from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #22, MARVEL AGE ANNUAL #4, MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS (1988) #14 and #56 and MARVEL SUPER-HEROES (1990) #1-2 and #5-6.
