Indulge me this moment to honor the life of the incomparable Steven Ditko. He started off as one of my greatest heroes but our paths crossed many times over the years and he went from hero to friend. At least he made me feel like a friend.
He was always a very soft spoken and quiet man. He danced in his work though, where you couldn’t shut him up. The colors screamed off the pages and the scribbles came to life only to reappear in my childhood eyes. Oh, the impact he had on those childhood eyes.
He has become a hero again. Rest In Peace.
