The Odd Man ran in a Detective giant but was originally slated for the issue of Static that wasn't published... I wonder if he'd started on a second Odd Man story?
The Stalker was another '70s comic with Ditko & Wood on some of it's four issues.

The Odd Man story had been intended for the unpublished Shade, the Changing Man #9.
All four issues of Stalker had Ditko/Wood covers and art.

The Odd Man made a cameo appearance in a 25 page Creeper story by Ditko, which was intended for Showcase #106 but turned up in Cancelled Comics Cavalcade #2 and The Creeper by Steve Ditko hardcover collection. Some of the dialogue in the Odd Man story in Detective Comics #487 had been modified from the version in Cancelled Comics Cavalcade #2.

Augh, got my Static and Shade mixed up... now I know I qualify for the Denny's restaurant seniors menu! :^/
Interesting about the dialogue changes!
I watched Konga (parts anyway) on Svengoolie (U.S. horror movie program) last night. It wasn't much of a movie (although in colour with lots of British actors seen in other movies and tv later) but I once had the original Konga #1 (1960) with a full length Ditko adaptation inside and thought it some of his best work. I had a smattering of other Konga issues he worked on for Charlton. Needless to say his Konga had loads more character to him than the screen one! I remember one comic where he battled a giant rat his size and there there was some Ditko on that although maybe only the cover.
That Konga #1 had the UK price on it. I had a few '60s (and '70s) Charltons (and '60s Marvels) with that 8d or 10d but no North American price... no idea why they were on the west coast of Canada, perhaps someone moved here with them, although we had one shop that sold current UK comics.

I think the issue with the rat was Konga's Revenge #2. According to GCD, this featured 20 pages drawn by Ditko, and a short non-Konga backup by another artist who may have been sonewhat influenced by Ditko: Don Perlin
