Happy 85, Steve Ditko

I want to take a moment from our regular reviews of Amazing Spider-Man to wish a very happy birthday to the co-creator of Spider-Man, Steve Ditko! I've been loving his artwork and dynamic poses as we've gone through these early issues of ASM, and it is absolutely a pleasure to know that we live in a world that has Steve Ditko in it.

He has been very reclusive in recent history, focusing on living a much quieter life than the bombastic Stan Lee, but his work is so legendary that he won't be forgotten either way. As the creator or co-creator of such characters as The Creeper, Spider-Man, Captain Atom, Hawk and Dove, and many many others.

For all of the years of enjoyment I've gotten from so many of his creations and artwork, I wish a personal and sincere thank you and happy birthday to Steve Ditko! Here's to many more years, sir!
