Whether it be Marvel, DC or Charlton, Ditko kept coming up with fascinating characters. 2 / 9

In the early 1980s, Ditko was looking for work from DC Comics. 3 / 9

Editor Dave Manak asked Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn to come up with a character for Ditko to draw. 4 / 9

The writers took the idea of a man trapped in an armor from Ditko's Iron Man... 5 / 9

plus the fun-loving antics of Ditko's Spider-Man and the color scheme of Blue Beetle... 6 / 9

added to the devil imagery (and also using colors in names) of Ditko's Green Goblin... 7 / 9

and came up with the fun-loving hero trapped in a suit, Blue Devil! 8 / 9

Ditko, though, didn't like the idea and so Paris Cullins was the artist on the series. 9 / 9
