'GET SMART' TEST PAGE
For Sal Trapani : Early '66


Here's another remarkable, unpublished find! After Ditko left Marvel in early '66, one of the people with whom he hooked up was artist Sal Trepani, bro-in-law of Dick Giordano. Seems Sal had a few accounts with Dell, D.C. and A.C.G. and needed some help with layouts. Sal hired Ditko for that purpose, and one of the books they worked on together was Dell's GET SMART. Some of the stuff they did together, like the A.C.G. material, is almost non-recognizable as Ditko. But clearly Sal must have wanted something a little more when it came to a name property like the T.V. show GET SMART. The piece below was given to someone by Sal and it can best be called a "try-out sheet", if you will, of Ditko drawing some of the GET SMART characters. You can see part of it is inked and part is just pencils. Another fabulous unpublished Ditko find from yur DITKO LOOKED UP buddies!
