That's Some Ditko

A lot of the Deep Space 9 good/bad character design of the exiled Cardassian secret policeman Garak seems inspired by Steve Ditko. The clothing pattern and the alien facial structure (via Amazing Spider-Man #2) always impressed me as very Ditko-ish.

What If...Steve Ditko never went into a career in comic books?

We'd have had to rely on another creator for weird inter-dimensional landscapes.

Jack Kirby's "Dark Dimension" from Blue Bolt #5 (October 1940).
