Remarkableriots Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/steve-ditko-spider-man-co-creator-and-legendary-comics-artist-dies-at-90/ar-AAzGXTX?ocid=AMZN Quote Artist Steve Ditko, who co-created Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Stan Lee, has died at age 90. The New York Police Department confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter. No cause of death was announced. Ditko was found dead in his apartment on June 29 and it is believed he died about two days earlier. In 1961, Ditko and Lee created Spider-Man. Lee, the editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics, gave Ditko the assignment after he wasn't satisfied with Jack Kirby's take on the idea of a teen superhero with spider powers. The look of Spider-Man — the costume, the web shooters, the red and blue design — all came from Ditko. Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy No. 15. The comic was an unexpected hit and the character was spun off into The Amazing Spider-Man. Ditko helped create such classic Spider-Man characters as Doctor Octopus, Sandman, the Lizard, and Green Goblin. Starting with issue No. 25 Ditko received a plot credit in addition to his artist credit. Ditko's run ended with issue No. 38. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Honestly while Lee was the frontman, just like Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, Mick and Keith, etc. Ditko was there right alongside. RIP to a legend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
