Imagine an allegory that juxtaposes incongruous emotions while an uncomfortable transfusion of the ideas seeps back and forth between them... Never mind. I'll imagine it for you.

very interesting! It looks like he was given background character work on those pages.

One can make out the hands of three artists on these pages and the others of this issue
On the page 7 i post, the ladies in green up front surely look like Ditko to me
other pages sport looks of at least the layouts with some figure work
so, what does every one think?
a new "first" Ditko comic book story to replace Daring Love #1?

And background work. To me the throne, decorative green object (lamp?), and smoke on PG 2 panel 1, 2, 3 all look like his work.

Keep in mind Ditko was still a student at the art school Jerry Robinson and Mort Meskin were teaching at the time these art story jobs came available. No diff than say when people come to the Kubert school for projects.
I would say Ditko was at least doing layouts on some of the pages of this Classics story. One can easily see there is zero Ditko in the back half of the book - completely different hands at work there
The front of the book where the Ditko work is concentrated has a completely different atmosphere

So essentially Ditko worked as student slave "cheap" labor when known artists were given the boot.
Kinda like union/non union...crossing the picket line?
