Just saying he's the original artists is selling him short. He was the co-creator of Spider-man and Dr. Strange as well as many other great characters over the years.

He may as well owned Charleton Comics in the 70s! Plus his work in early 50's horror comics, his work on the CREEPER, HAWK AND DOVE, and the weird MR. A.

RIP Steve Ditko. Title: Re: RIP Steve Ditko Post by: Svengoolie 3 on July 07, 2018, 05:18:47 PM I remember that for a while marvel comics gave him failing comics to illustrate, like ROM and micronauts.
He created an objectionist superhero, Mr. A, who was a pure black and white type who later became "the question" and was adapted as Rorschach in the watchman.
