“More Ditko love🕷” — @JimMahfood
A collection of creators sharing their love and memories of Steve Ditko and his works.
Spider-Man. Dr. Strange. The Question. The Creeper. Shade the Changing Man. Hawk & Dove. He worked with Marvel AND DC Comics. Such an astounding imagination and the awesome ability to back it up. Thank you Steve Ditko, for sharing your genius and enriching American Pop Culture. — @ThatKevinSmith
My version of Spidey drew a ton of inspiration from Mr. Ditko’s original version from 1962. His “quirky” art style lead me to try different things on the page and the return of webs under his arms and lots of web lines on his costume came from Steve’s original run. Though I never met him in person, he made an artistic impact on how I would eventually draw Spidey 30 years after his. — @Todd_McFarlane
Steve Ditko created some of the most fascinating characters, in their designs & visual personalities. He brought a magic and a humanity even to his most surreal ideas. I used to draw Spider-Man as a very young child & I image his Spider-Man design started many young kids drawing — @davidmackkabuki
Sharing a beautiful Steve Ditko ink and wash page from Eerie Magazine (1960s) Ditko was a giant, and his work was a big part of my life. Steve Ditko — @JerryOrdway
Steve Ditko. Such a giant in the medium. For years I was a little intimidated by the costume he designed for Spider-Man. A student asked me to draw one for a friend, and it suddenly clicked. One of the best costumes in comics. — @rpace
Goodbye, Steve Ditko, and thanks for everything, you weird legend. What strange and amazing things you achieved. — @warrenellis
Rest In Peace, Mr Ditko, and thank you. Spider-Man helped teach me to read, and inspired me to draw. Then, for good measure, he helped pay my bills. That’s pretty Amazing. — @Drew_E_Johnson
I would’ve given anything to have lived inside Steve Ditko’s head for a day. And he got to do it for 90 years. We were all just lucky to be able to enjoy the fruits of his beautiful weirdness. Thank you for always being you, Mr. Ditko. Rest in peace. — @jasonaaron
I had the wonderful opportunity to draw another of Steve Ditko’s amazing creations a little while back. I had so much fun doing this cover with my good friend Bill Sienkiewicz. Deathstroke#11 cover b/w art featuring The Creeper! RIP Steve Ditko — ‏@DenysCowan
It’s been almost sixty years, and nobody was able to top his original creations. We just keep going back to them ’cause we could never be as weird and cool and timeless. RIP Ditko. — ‏ @zdarsky
Had to draw one of his tonight: Starman, designed by Steve Ditko — @PatrickZircher
RIP grandmaster Steve Ditko. You changed the game, man… — @JimMahfood
Some images of my collaboration with Steve Ditko. I inked and scripted this story from Marvel Comics Presents #83. May he rest in peace. — @ErikJLarsen
Two years ago, I sent Ditko a letter about his Rom work and included our new series as thanks for the inspiration. He politely sent this. He made it clear that modern comics weren’t to his tastes but I appreciate the thoughtful if perplexing response as to why he felt that way. — ‏ @chris_ryall
