Spider-Man’s Co-Creator Gets His Due

September 15th, 2007

Spider-Man was not created solely by writer Stan Lee. As correctly credited in all three movies, artist Steve Ditko co-created the character.

I feature some panels of Ditko’s distinctively eccentric, compelling work here and here. Thanks to Mark Evanier, I know that tomorrow the BBC will be showing a Steve Ditko documentary. I’m hoping it makes an appearance on BBC America. If not, I’ll have to scrounge around the Internet, the way I did to find the BBC Petula Clark documentary.

IMPORTANT NOTE: On Newsfromme, Mark Evanier corrects me on the subject of screen credits. Thank you, Mark!

By the way, anybody who’s visiting here thinking I’m the same Doug Pratt who puts out The DVD-LaserDisc Newsletter, I’m merely a subscriber. That Doug Pratt is over here.
