Happy Birthday Steve Ditko!

[SW3D]

Today, November 2, 2013, comic book legend Steve Ditko turns 86 years of age.

 

Many of you know him as the co-creator of Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man. Others also know him as that eccentric artist... a savant with a black and white view of the world. Still others know him as a follower of Ayn Rand's Objectivism.

Hopefully history will see him as the way I see him... a man with a brilliant imagination.

 

Whoever he is, and where ever he is, I just want to thank him for giving the comic book world such magnificent and often very weird heroes.

 

I have my Ditko favorites beside Spidey: The Creeper, Doctor Strange, The Question, Mr. A... and perhaps dear reader, you'll reply with your favorites and some beloved memories from reading these and other wonderful Ditko creations.

 

Mr. Ditko... Happy Birthday!

I know the illustration you're talking about... and for some reason I can't change the image.

 

And it's a cool illustration with Dr. Strange illustration sending mystical vibrations over the sleeping Ditko.

Let's also not forget all of the great stuff he did while working for Charlton.

There are hundreds of covers and stories that he contributed which are extremely

Difficult to find in high grade because they used such poor quality paper in the early to mid

70's. I will post a few covers later today or tomorrow. Happy birthday Steve
