	Steve Ditko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steve Ditko (born 2 November 1927 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania) is a renowned American comic book artist and writer best known as the co-creator of Spider-Man.
		Ditko's tenure on "Dr. Strange" culminated in the introduction, in Strange Tales #146 (July 1966), of Ditko's grand and enduring conception of Eternity, the personification of the universe, depicted as a majestic silhouette whose outlines are filled with the cosmos.
		Ditko was a finalist for induction into the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1989, and formally inducted in 1990.

	Talent Pool 10- Steve Ditko (Apr 1999)
		Steve Ditko was born among a generation of comics talent from the twenties who got to see the birth and flowering of the superhero comic in its first days in the Golden Age.
		Steve Ditko studied at the Cartoonists' and Illustrators' School under Jerry Robinson, one of the earliest hands to depict Batman in the 1940s.
		Ditko created the philosophical Mister A as a vehicle for presenting his views on morality, many of which relied on the Premise of the Excluded Middle: Something is either good or bad, never both; something is either right or wrong.

	Steve Ditko - Uncyclopedia
		Steve Ditko is a comic book artist probably best known for creating the character Martian Manhunter with his long time collaborator and rumored lover, Jim Plagman.
		Ditko initially declined, considering the idea too commercial a departure from his Eisner Award-winning run on Bondage Fairies.
		Ditko's signature watercolors, along with Plagman's keen knowledge of baseball trivia, made the Manhunter a roaring success, spawning two feature length movies, several lines of action figures, and, ultimately, the Manhunter's Martian Waterworld chain of aquatic theme parks.

	Steve Ditko
		Steve Ditko is the artist who first drew the webbed warrior, and Lee and Ditko crafted the character's character -- anxiety, angst and troubled social life -- together, in long collaborative conversations.
		Ditko studied art at the Cartoonists and Illustrators School in New York City, and started his career at Charlton Comics, where he drew horror, mystery, and science fiction series with violence that would never pass muster with today's Comics Code Authority.
		In the 1970s, Ditko wrote and illustrated several comic books that were plotted around the concepts of "objectivism", as espoused by author/philosopher Ayn Rand.

	The religion of Steve Ditko, comic book artist
		Steve Ditko, or "Steverino," as cheeky Stan Lee often referred to him in what must have been a good-natured jibe, so impossible is it to reconcile the reclusive, sanctimonious, hard-line Objectivist, Fritz Lang-in-flannel figure of Ditko with this sobriquet...
		Ditko was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1927 to a family of Slavic descent.
		As a result, Steve Ditko, the master of drawing angst-ridden everymen and gritty urban environments, was brought in to illustrate this new, experimental series.

	The amazing Steve Ditko - Salon
		A cross-section of Ditko's early- to mid-'60s work is reprinted in the new hardcover collection "Steve Ditko: Marvel Visionaries." His artwork is often crude and unpretty on its surface: understated and flat, full of crabbed, ugly characters.
		Ditko drew the first 38 issues of "The Amazing Spider-Man," the foundation on which every Spider-Man story since then has been built.
		Over and over, though, there are images of weirdly shaped portals through which even weirder planes of existence can be seen, and the implication is that the rectangles on the printed page act as the same sort of portal for the reader.

	Bookshelf Comics Review: Steve Ditko: Marvel Visionaries
		The difference between guys like Ditko and me is that when you’re in their world, you don’t have to look around and see which part of it reminds you of them: buildings, figures, storytelling, everything about them is distinctive.
		The book then moves to the character Ditko is most famous for co-creating: Spider-Man. What is particularly enjoyable about this book is that it reprints classics as well as stories that are some of his less well known and/or rarely reprinted.
		Steve Welch is an avid collector of pre-hero and Silver Age Marvel comics as well as original art by Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and other notable creators.

		Unfortunately, after the interesting set-up the story kind of veers off into a less interesting sci-fi twist ending, where it turns out the creative chair-builder is in fact an alien in disguise investigating humanity, and his chairs are spy robots.
		Steve Englehart writes, Steve Ditko pencils and Steve Leialoha inks, hence the "All-Steve Squad".
		Ditko does a great job on a lot of the settings and action scenes, and Leialoha is probably one of the three or four best inkers Ditko ever had, so it really is nice to look at.

		Ditko soon left DC, supposedly because he was having problems with his eyesight, though he reportedly had more problems with editorial interference on his work.
		Ditko continued to do work on a number of minor series at DC, and at the end of the decade also returned to Marvel to work on such titles as Machine Man and Micronauts.
		Ditko's real creative energies seem to be reserved for more political works, as well as a number of cryptic, Rand-inspired essays which have seen print over the years.

		Ditko wanted more creative control of Spider-Man, and he didn't like some of the directions the stories were going.
		Ditko wanted the Goblin to end up being just some no-name guy off the street to illustrate that evil can come from anywhere, but Stan went with the Norman Osborn concept instead.
		Ditko also was a proponent of more fl-and-white good vs evil storylines, where Stan wanted to get Spidey involved in some of the societal controversies of the current times (mid-1960's).

		At his best, Steve Ditko's artwork was initially deceivingly pedestrian...only to later take the reader through twists and turns into wonderfully strange and haunting worlds.
		While the likes of Jack Kirby made everything grandiose and larger than life, much of Ditko's charm was his knack for being able to take the most mundane situations and render them with an artist's eye than seldom failed to captivate the reader.
		Ditko left a deep impression on me when I was young, and his work is one of the things from my youth that I still enjoy greatly now that I'm deep into middle age.

		It has often been said that Steve Ditko's work hit a peak in the 1950s, with his horror work, or in the 60s, with Spider-Man--but after that, he went downhill; he didn't care any more; he just hacked it out; etc., etc.
		Ditko, through his characters, distinguished between the initiation of force and self-defense (retaliatory force).
		Steve Ditko presents, in his work, a view of life and of man that actually encourages a person to do better.

		Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin delivers a speech to Spider-Man that goes something like, "There are 8 million people out there, and their purpose is to hold people like us up." But faced with a choice between surrogate fathers--Dafoe's wealthy Norman Osborn and humble Uncle Ben--Parker makes the choice that helps the most people.
