After the legendary comic book artist Steve Ditko passed away at the end of June, it was not reported right away. It took about a week for the news to be confirmed. After that point, we dedicated a number of stories here at CBR to Ditko, not only about the iconic characters that he helped create like Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, but also the comic book companies where he worked and various aspects from Ditko's comics themselves, like his costume designs and his unique handling of fight sequences.
We have decided to collect them all for you together so that you can read them all at once, if you'd like.
