Much love, admiration, respect and best wishes to comic book legend Steve Ditko today on his 87th birthday!! Steve is best known as the co-creator of Marvel comics characters Spider-Man and Dr. Strange but that is merely the tip of the iceberg on the prolific and diverse resume of Mr. Ditko's work!

Personally, I feel I've done a disproportionate number of Ditko characters in my own pics as tribute to my love of his great characters! Here's just some examples from my gallery...




Here's a link to some of his covers, by no means his best in my opinion but it gives some sense of his design and diversity: 13 Great Ditko covers

and if you're up for the heady stuff, an interesting look at Ditko's Mr A and his relationship to philosophy starts here: The Secret Origin of Mr. A

Show a little love for old Steverino and wish him a happy birthday by posting your own favorite Ditko character pic here!
