Happy 87th birthday to Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko. He was born in Johnston, PA back on November 2nd, 1927.
He helped create a character that is still loved 50+ years later and will be loved for generations to come. I know Steve will never see this post, but I want to publicly thank him for co-creating my favorite character in fiction and inspiring me to create this website. Please join me in the comment sections of wishing him a happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Mr. Ditko! Spider-Man has endured because
of your great work on the character, including your
work on an unforgettable rogues gallery.
@8 – That correction will be in this month’s DITKO NEWWWWWWS!
By the way, BD it’s Steve’s 87th Birthday not 86th.
Happy Birthday Mr. Ditko! Thanks for Spider-Man and his cast of characters. Not only is Spidey the best, but so are his deadly foes : Sandman, Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Vulture – they are all perfect!
Happy birthday, Steve!
Happy birthday Steve Ditko!!
Happy birthday Steve! I may not agree with your Rand-ian views, but goddamn you co-created a great character and plotted some amazing (pun intended) stories. All future Spidey writers have been trying to copy If This Be My Destiny with the lifting of the too-heavy-to-lift machinery, but you can’t improve upon perfection. Bravo.
Happy Birthday to Spidey’s “dad” it would all be nought without you.
Merry Birthday, Steve!! 😀
Thank you for so many good memories.
Happy Birthday Steve!!
