In memory of Steve Ditko, we take a look at “If This Be My Destiny” from Amazing Spider-Man #31-33 and a story we’re calling “The Search for Eternity” from Strange Tales #130-146. There’s action! Adventure! Excitement! Hamilton references! And, in a surprising turn of events, a new #1 is crowned!

We’ll be back in two weeks to discuss Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (vol. 1) #1-4 and Ms. Marvel (vol. 3) #1-5, a fact we mention here only because we don’t mention the issue numbers in the episode itself.
