Pariah Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Captain America may be the quintessential American superhero, but Spider-Man is the everyman superhero. Rest in Peace, Mr. Ditko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingly Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Well said! Quote “Without Kirby, there would be no Marvel [and] and no Marvel films,” Gaiman said of the multibillion-dollar cinematic universe. “Without Steve Ditko, there would have been none of the weird stuff off to the side. And the thing that made Marvel was that glorious combination of the Ditko and the Kirby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 In addition to being the first Spider-Man artist, Steve Ditko was also the best. All the ones that followed couldn't help themselves and made Peter Parker too muscular and handsome. Stan Lee when he sent away Kirby from the project and Steve Ditko understood that Peter needed be skinny and bookish, otherwise he would just be another handsome super hero like all the rest. Also, without Steve Ditko, Dr Strange would just be a footnote along with Stan Lee's other failed characters, because there was nothing inspired about Stan's writing of the character. It was Steve's psychedelic art that elevated the book, and led to many talent artists latter wanting to work on the title even though it was never a top seller. So, thanks Steve, and safe travels as you now get to explore all those funky dimensions that you could only imagine previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
