Ditko quit DC mid-run in both THE CREEPER and HAWK AND THE DOVE, because he felt writers Skeates and O'Neil, and editor Giordano, had (like Stan Lee on Spider-Man) hijacked these books in a direction other than how he had envisioned the two series to move in. (i.e., a politically liberal/Left direction, and he felt out-voted by three liberals on the direction of the series that he himself created.)
Not unlike Kirby, who felt dicked over at both Marvel and DC, and then dicked over again in the late 70's when he returned to Marvel, and finally left the field for a while to do animation.
