Είχα διαβάσει κάποια στιγμή πρόσφατα την ιστορία του, πως ‘εξαφανίστηκε’ λίγο μετά τη δουλειά του για τη Marvel που άφησε εποχή στα κόμικ. Και όταν ‘έφυγε’ πριν μερικές ημέρες, η αλήθεια είναι πως, φάνηκε λογικό να βρω μερικά στοιχεία παραπάνω…
Ο συν-δημιουργός του Spider-Man Stan Lee είπε:
Jack [Kirby] made him look very heroic and strong, but that isn’t the way I wanted him – I wanted him to look like a typical, thin high school kid. He doesn’t get all of the girls because of his athletic prowess. He’s just kind of a shy high school kid who’s a science major. And it was no big deal. I said, “Jack, forget it. I’ll give it to someone else.” And he was busy with a dozen other books, he didn’t care. So I called Steve Ditko, and Steve gave him just the right look. And that’s how Spidey was born.
H Marvel δια του Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada έγραψε:
Only a small group of individuals can claim that they have effected and redefined not just an industry, but popular culture worldwide. Steve Ditko was one of those few who dared to break molds every time his pencil and pen hit a blank sheet of paper. In his lifetime he blessed us with gorgeous art, fantastical stories, heroic characters and a mystical persona worthy of some of his greatest creations. And much like his greatest co-creation, Steve Ditko’s legend and influence will outlive us all.
