1. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Roy Thomas They redefined how characters were written. Prior to them characters were very one dimensional. I’d list them individually, but Marvel wouldn’t be what it is without the four of them together so I find it fitting they are all...

Stan Lee, who inadvertently shaped contemporary film, is now trying to do so on purpose LITTLE is certain in the film business these days, thanks to piracy and the recession. But here is a fairly safe prediction. Next year one of the ten bestselling films at the American box office will be based on a comic-book superhero created by Stan Lee. There will be another one, perhaps two, the following year....

Back in the dim and distant days of the early 1970's, Marvel put out a number of reprint comics that featured its pre- Fantastic Four era giant monster, horror and science fiction tales, drawn by such luminaries as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck, and others with scripts by Stan Lee and his brother Larry Lieber, among others. I certainly bought my share of them (or had them bought for me, actually,...

Ric Estrada passed away last Friday after losing a long battle with cancer. In a spinner rack filled with art by the likes of Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Joe Kubert, Wally Wood, Neal Adams, John Buscema, Barry Smith, Jim Starlin, John Byrne, and George Perez, art by journeymen like Ric Estrada could be easily overlooked or forgotten. Estrada was a talented veteran of the Old School of comicbook art,...

When last we saw John Albano/Ernie Colon's creation, Tiger-Man , he was a sort of super-powered Dirty Harry/ Punisher type. With his second issue (March 1975), Tiger-Man got a new creative team, Gerry Conway and Steve Ditko, and was cast in a more traditional super-hero mold, complete with costumed super-villain. (Ironic since Conway helped create the Punisher ...) Ditko's art was very good on this...
