Steve Ditko helped realize what would become my favorite Marvel superhero, if not my favorite superhero PERIOD. He rests right alongside Jack Kirby as one of the legends of the modern day comic book era. Goodbye, Steve. May a web swing of peace guide you to the Astral Dimension where you will be forever immortal.
Torterra I would hope he'd also be remembered for the Question, Blue Beetle and Captain Atom...or as anyone watched or read Watchmen knows them, Rorschach, Nite-Owl and Doctor Manhattan. Also, don't you find it sad, like I do, that Kirby was the first to go of this bunch? I can never shake the suspicion that his resentments killed him.
Sending you my unlimited love, and sincere condolences. Steve was a rare and beautiful gift to the world, and I for one will miss him greatly. Thanks for the inspiration, Steve. Rest in peace.
Well at least Stan Lee and Steve Ditko Are together now in heaven rest in peace you guys and thank you for Spider-Man and the other heroes you created together
RIP Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the Fathers of Spider-Man. Thank you for creating the greatest superhero of all time and inspiring generations to come and for making everyone feel special and have a boy they can relate to in Peter Parker.
Ditko's run of Spider-Man comics are my favourite comics of all time. I adore those early issues and have spent far too much money trying to acquire them all. Ditko is massively underrated as far as I'm concerned.
Loved Ditko's work and his creations will live on past us all. Kurt Vonnegut said in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. He said he was then asked if he knew any artists that pulled that off. He replied, "The Beatles did." That could certainly be said of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby. Bless you all!
You have my condolences Stan, meeting you was one of the highest honours of my life. I do regret however not being able to meet Ditko and Jack Kirby, May your old friend rest in peace.
I never knew Steve on the cover I never read his name in the covers but the creation of Spider-Man left in the comics will remain a true symbol not only in Marcel history but comic book history...
Tell me it's just one of those celebrity death hoaxes. Fuck! :( I so feared this day for the last 20 years :( and it fucking came! God bless your soul, Stan! You were/are an absolute legend! Rest in peace [*]
When Jack Kirby died, Jack's biographer Mark Evanier found a 1966 letter from Steve Ditko in Jack's files urging Jack to quit Marvel the same time Ditko did to show Marvel that they can't treat their talent that way. Ditko quit because Marvel had promised the artists royalties should characters they drew be merchandised or sell to television, which happened quickly in the early 1960s. But Marvel refused to share the wealth and Ditko refused to work for someone who would lie to him. Stan Lee never publicly apologized to Ditko for the way he was treated by Martin Goodman and Ditko only went back to Marvel after Goodman sold the company.
Steve Ditko, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby may have died but before they died, they left us with one of the greatest franchises to have ever been created and gave us all these amazing stories that will be remembered for years to come. R.I.P you guys, I hope you are enjoying paradise
I grew up in the Silver Age. My dad bought me my first comic, Spiderman #8. Ditko was always my favorite artist. Broke my heart when I was 9 when he left Spidey in issue #38, but he did some amazing work for Creepy and Eerie, which I also bought religiously. An incredible talent.
I think, and it's weird maybe, but I think Steve Ditko's passing took a toll on Mr. Lee. Not quite the heartbreak that losing his Joanie, of course, had to have been, obviously. But he truly looks as if the light in him just dimmed a good bit more in this video. Unfortunately.
Ditko was screwed out of gaining money though Spidey's name for 50 years. The only thing I can say is I sincerely hope and wish Stan Lee had nothing to do with that.
@Ken Choo Productions In that case Len Wein died in 2017. Without Len Wein there would be no Wolverine, no Colossus, no Storm and no Nightcrawler. R.I.P Len Wein
The saddest thing is that it's now public fan knowledge that the relationship beteween Stan, Jack, and Steve was in reality, so contentious. Marvel was no Camelot. The big name comic book publi$hing indu$try never was. Both Jack and Steve went to their graves without reconciling with Stan. In Jack's case, I'm sure Stan wishes he could take back some things he did and said. In Steve Ditko's case, Stan at least did his best, but Ditko was just...well difficult and got caught up in semantics and his own one track way of thinking (which limited him in all things). For example, Stan explicitly said he considered Steve to be the co-creator of Spider-Man. Dikto, true to form, wrote a rebuttal dissecting the word "consider". Stan looks well here (for 95), but the fact that we all know (as much as he does) that Ditko hated him, is probably hanging heavy on him as he gives these token words.
Aten Akehnaton. If you want to know ...... I read his comics from 1970 and see for some time, the comics made in film I've been waiting for some time. A myth is that person, in my opinion, that remains a trace of himself for what he did, and for me it is, because when I was a boy they accompanied me when I grew older. Then also all that he did not stop before the various obstacles he had, perhaps you do not know that DC Comics, was in those days (long before 1970) as a master in the comic strip. Satisfied with the answer ????Even if you're not for me it's okay anyway.

I just wasn't sure when he said "myth" what he meant. Does that mean Stan Lee is a con man, a living legend and hero, or what exactly?
Steve Ditko was a hypocrite. He hated flawed heroes and grey characters and at the same time makes an anti hero Mr A. Ditko thinks the only reason Spider-Man is popular is because of his costume, gadgets and powers rather than the fact Peter Parker is a flawed person who has personal struggles. Spider-Man is the polar opposite of his objectivist philosophy.
Steve Ditko did a lot for DC, too. He created the Creeper, Hawk and Dove, Shade the Changing Man, Stalker, the Odd Man, Starman (the 3rd version), Captain Atom, the Question, and the Blue Beetle, as well as illustrating the Legion of Super-Heroes, Man-Bat, the Demon, and a ton of mystery and science fiction stories.
The con man** He was a con artist. Get a clue. Never created, or did a thing... just brainstormed ideas, never drew a character up, never wrote a character.... he just put bubbles in like HEY! WOW! His IDEA was "hey how about some spider powered hero? like a spider/man?".. THEN STEVE DITKO drew what we know, and love today... the mask, the suit, the colors.... Stan Lee could have been thinking about some guys with 8 eyes, 8 hairy legs... DITKO came up with the look of Peter Parker, the suit, what's cool, and LOVED about him...

As Steve Ditko looks in shock.. Steve Ditko hated Stan in the end... Wonder why. Wonder why Stan loves to put HIMSELF in every comic, every movie, without doing anything else. I haven't looked at him the same since... was happy when he died. So I don't have to see his stupid, selfish, corny ass cameos anymore..

Yup. The same way we learn about Poe, Shakespeare, and Twain now. Legendary writers are never forgotten.
Lies, I doubt comics will ever be truly respected as a legitimate form of storytelling by society.
Good luck idiots, comics arent taught that deeply in education, closest is graphics novels class and even then its a stretch.

Damn. Now the trio of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby are gone :(
Steve Ditko was very extremely reclusive, avoided the public, another person I feel is very similar, John Erwin, the original voice of He-Man.
We were fortunate to live in the Marvel Age of comics with Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. They gave us our childhood.
