Anybody know how I can buy these new comics by Ditko? I've been looking online (on Amazon, googling Ditko and Snyder, etc.) for about half an hour and I can't find any way to actually get books like the one at the top!

Eric, the way you buy Ditko's new publications is that you order them directly from his longtime associate Robin Snyder. As befits an iconoclast like Ditko, Snyder uses a very retro system of ordering. You look at this website and decide what you want. You mail him a a note saying what you want, along with check or money order. He mails you the books. It's just the way I remember ordering stuff back in the 70s, except I no longer have to ask my mom to write the check for me.

Thanks, Jason! It's a little crazy--that's how I sold my comics when I did some self-publishing! It works for low sales, but I HAVE to think there's more market out there for Ditko! (Hard cover reprints of his old stuff are in book stores all over the country!)

You can also obtain new material through Kickstarter projects via Robin.

I recommend the Ditko Four Page Series, which is a series of his essays.Of note, in #9 he addresses the decades old question in "Why I quit S-M (Spider-Man), Marvel".

Yep! Already supported that one myself. If you have purchased any of these recent Ditko books this might be a good kickstarter for you to support. The reward levels allow you to buy all the previous books as well depending on how much you donate.
I'm hoping a MR A collection is on the horizon.

Another "new" comic available from Ditko is STEVE DITKO'S WEIRD COMICS #1. It's available on Amazon digitally or print on demand. Reprints stories from Monsters Attack #1-5 from the late 80s.
My copy just arrived today!
