Mr. A

Steve Ditko’s Mr. A, launched in 1975 by Bruce Hershenson, is a stark, black-and-white series that distills the creator’s uncompromising moral philosophy into comics form. Over its single issue, Ditko both wrote and illustrated the adventures of the titular hero, a detective who operates by an absolute, no-grey distinction between good and evil. This series stands as a pure, unfiltered expression of Ditko’s Objectivist-influenced worldview, making it a key artifact for understanding his later, independent work.
