The Mocker, Steve Ditko's 10-chapter, 100-page graphic novel, is a "novel" in the truest sense -- in that it has an intense and complex story structure; a plot driven by the passionate principles of its characters (both for good and for evil); and a climactic resolution. Ditko's decades-long career had many peaks (more than just Spider-Man and Dr. Strange). The Mocker is one of his highest peaks.
