Steve Ditko did the licensed property comic Chuck Norris and the Karate Kommandos in 1987. He went on to do his own creation Speedball. Both these titles were done for Marvel. Did Ditko have a long term plan to do a Chuck Norris crossover with his own hero early on only for the Norris comic to only last four issues? Regardless of what happened, Chuck Norris was replaced by famous martial artist and actor and totally original Marvel character Chick Harris. A page from Speedball #3, drawn and plotted by Ditko with scripting by Jo Duffy.
