Hello, all--
I'll get the somber news out of the way first: comics legend Steve Ditko
passed away this week... co-creator of Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Green
Goblin, Dormammu, Squirrel Girl, Speedball and so many more at Marvel.
Creator of The Creeper, Hawk and Dove, Shade the Changing Man, The
Question, Captain Atom and more over at DC (I know a few of those guys
were Charlton originally but you get what I'm going for). Ditko was one
of the original definers of the medium for America, and there's no way
to overstate his contribution. He made it to 90, which is a pretty darn
impressive age, and his accomplishments should be acknowledged and
celebrated. Everything you like about comics wouldn't exist the way it
does without him.
