DARK DOMINION
This is an excerpt from OVERSTREET'S COMIC BOOK MONTHLY
- Issue #4, Aug '93, pg. 18 by Jan C. Childress.
''The Defiant One''
Defiant is bringing together a lineup of some of the industry's most respected professionals.
''Veterans like myself, Chris Claremont, and Steve Ditko have endured a lot in the industry,''
Jim continued. ''This is our opportunity to see some of our unfulfilled wishes come true.''
.....Dark Dominion, another forthcoming title, will feature the artist talents of the
legendary Steve Ditko. Steve Leialoha will provide the inks. ''Steve Ditko revolutionized the
way magic was depicted in comics with Dr. Strange,'' said Jim. ''He will do it again with this
title.''
[ed. note : Ditko lasted for only the introductory
card-set comic and then he was gone. Shooter later claimed that Ditko was only into doing pure
fantasy, or strictly political work, and that this title just didn't fit in to either category.
Above is one of the cards from the set that would comprise Dark Dominion #0; cover date,
Nov '93. You could also buy a folder with the necessary card sheets, and each box of cards came
with inserts. There were supposedly ten or so hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind, Ditko-produced cards,
but I have never seen even one.]
