Reason Magazine - Hit & Run (Free subscription) | yesterday
Entertainment Weekly gives a thumbs up to the new coffee table biography of Spider-Man co-creator and Ayn Rand fanatic Steve Ditko, calling the artist's life "one of the strangest comic-book tales ever: not just how a talented man was ripped off by others, but how he denied himself a larger place in comics history." Ditko is one strange bird, no doubt about it. As reason contributor Julian Sanchez...

At UnBeige , mediabistro.com's design blog, Stephanie Murg takes a look at a Fantagraphics tribute to Steve Ditko , the co-creator of legendary Marvel Comics characters like Dr. Strange and Spider-Man who is perhaps best known to comics fans for an idiosyncratic career path best encapsulated in the character Mr. A, a masked vigilante inspired by the philosophy of Ayn Rand —which made him awfully cold-blooded...

In 1966, when I was just a wee lad of 11, what then seemed a very big honkin’ piece of my world fractured and dropped away. Steve Ditko split from Marvel Comics and forever left behind Doctor Strange and, most horribly, Spider-Man. Neither character has been the same since.

I love DC comics. No, correction I love the DC's catalogue of super-heroes. Growing up the comics that made me a fan were Marvel comics. The Stan Lee / Jack Kirby / Steve Ditko / Don Heck and all the rest created books that just drew me in and made me want to read each adventure.
