Ditko's day

Hello to all true Spider-Man fans,
 As I am sitting here listening  to a Spider-Man Crawlspace podcast of the very last story I  read while collecting originally from in two thousand four called "SINS PAST" along with other Spider-Man current bits. That story is the one where Gwen Stacy had children who turn out to be really Norman's Osborn offspring outside of his own son Harry Osborn. That all aside, today is a grand day for one of Peter Parker's main creators, and it's not who you'd think of? In fact a few years ago I paid tribute to this very person and since I pay kudos to stars that I know of this also includes the most enduring: Family! This guy created many of Peter's core arch foes from the scientist seen here 

, that now is in Peter's mind currently. His name is Otto Octavius to his greatest foe known as Green Goblin seen here         

which from my understanding will be having a bout with SpOck minded Spidey come the spring of 2014 before the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", which comes out in May. This creator was separated from the guy known as Stan by about five years of time. The creator I'm talking about is Peter's illustrative father known Steve Ditko Today ay he turns eighty six years young. He and Stan also made Doctor Strange a big hit after the strong strands of webbing success of the other half of Peter Parker's very active life seen here in these few panels   

of the comic book put out by Marvel comics titled "THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN" He doesn't care about fame or riches he just wants fans to know his body of work that started with this

first page of Mister Parker's life from a final comic titled  AMAZING FANTASY # 15, dated August nineteen sixty two as it's cover release was actually released in the following month of September. It had three other comic stories in it as well as our boy hood hero known as Mr.Parker, those stories were "THE BELL RINGER","THE MAN IN THE MUMMY CASE", and finally there was "THE MARTINS ARE AMONG US". Of course way back then to see sale records of any comic was at least a good eight months or nine at most, so when the final tally for AMAZING FANTASY # 15 was collected as a whole wasn't till early February of the following year of nineteen sixty three, when the owner of Marvel saw the sale figures Martin Goodman was his name ordered the creative team whom put out that book nine months ago to make it a regular monthly book. Dikto's actual time on the title was from February nineteen sixty three to July of nineteen sixty six by the covers numbering, but long before that he and Lee happen to of had a falling out over the direction of which way the stories should flow for the series run, so Steve till this day hasn't forgiven Stanly Martian Lee       ,in fact if you look at this illustration of how Steve felt might give some insight at least in a very tiny way of why he started to not appreciate Stan as a coworker in the field of the comic industry, just take a gander at the first word balloon if you don't believe me.... Still even if Ditko wants to hold a grudge that's his choice! Like it is my choice to choose what I Matt like to put down in words on my site. Steve Ditko is a good hearten man I'm sure but his way of enjoying work for the sake of being a creative artist may have been lost a long time ago. So in wanting to wish Mister Ditko a Happy Birthday is very much approved by me because he needs to know he's thought of on this very special day. Thank You Mister Ditko for breathing a breathe of inked 

 

life into one of the most beloved comic book superheroes of our time, and your NOT at fault for how he is currently being received by comic fans around the world right now, but the first name of your last villain "JOE" is to me at any rate. Again best wishes to you, on your date of birth. 

Happy 86th Birthday young man
