56 years ago, two men sat down and created Spider-Man. One of them was Steve Ditko. The man that drew my favorite superhero to life died at the age of 90 today. Were it not for him, the iconic red and blue clad hero with webs on his suit and a spider on his chest would have never been realized. Spider-Man would not exist without Steve Ditko. And of course there are others, most notably Dr. Strange, but if you’ve followed my blog, you know that Spider-Man is near and dear to me, so this weighs heavy on my heart. Rest in peace Steve, the original True Believer.

Steve Ditko, November 2, 1927- July 6, 2018
