Objectivism (Philosophy) in comics

found : Work cat.: Kruse, Z. Mysterious travelers : Steve Ditko and the search for a new liberal identity, 2021: p. 16 ("I instead begin with Ditko's entry into the comics industry in 1953 to help identify and trace a clear philosophic and political outlook that remains consistent throughout his career and only later picks up Objectivist, neoliberal, and libertarian thought along the way. Doing so reveals, first, that Ditko's work was never fully shackled by Objectivism and, second, that his approach has a much more complicated relationship with mystical thinking than Objectivism would admit") p. 52 ("through the work of Steve Ditko, we can gain insight into this apparently contradictory mode of thinking propagated by Objectivism") p. 63 ("It is difficult to say what specifically brought Ditko to an interest in Objectivism") (OCoLC)1224583622
