Just heard about this. So saddened to hear of his passing. His artwork, while not as dynamic or lauded at Kirby's, was nonetheless a massive influence on the comic book industry in general. RIP, good sir. Peace and condolences to your family, friends and fans....sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
I still like his version of Spider-Man the best. A skinny kid gets super powers and becomes a skinny kid in costume. I liked the way Peter Parker didn't change physically.
I also liked his Captain Atom and Blue Beetle stuff. His version of Doctor Strange is great!
Rest In PeaceComment

RIP sir. I may not have always agreed with you, but I always admired you.
Such great characters: Spidey and his classic foes, the weird worlds of Dr. Strange, The Question and The Creeper. I loved Ditko's elastic dynamism and sense of design.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Ninety is a good old age. Steve Ditko certainly made a significant impact on the world without a doubt. A huge loss.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

I love the way you phrased that. His style was alive and refused to be limited by the confines of the medium. He could express human emotions in a way that was cartoonish, but accessible. I'll never forget reading the Ditko run on Spider-Man every night before bed. It seems an understatement to say our beloved Spider-Man would not be what he is without Steve Ditko.
Here are a couple of panels that held a lot of meaning for me, reading them for the first time as a 12 year old kid.
And the unforgettable sequence...

^I'm with you on 80's Marvel Tales. Left a huge impression.
It's odd. I want to offer him condolences but he wouldn't want them because he saw it as a waste to focus on the past.
Man...what happens to that apartment could be the biggest story of the year. I'm worried that he has a will that stops anyone from trying to archive his property.Comment

I pulled out my ESSENTIAL SPIDER-MAN last night just to reminisce. Even in black-and-white, you can see what an innovator Ditko was in storytelling and style.sigpic Oh then, what's this?
